Two Taliban suicide bombers hit army buses in Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul  on Wednesday with initial reports of six people killed, one day after the new Afghan government signed a deal for US troops to stay in the country.

"There have been two suicide attacks targeting buses carrying Afghan national army personnel," Farid Afzali, chief of the city’s police investigation department, said.

"Initial reports say six military people and civilians were killed in one of the attacks," he said.

Afghanistan and the United States on Tuesday signed a bilateral security agreement to allow about 10,000 US troops to stay in the country next year [2015].

US President Barack Obama welcomed the deal, saying it was an historic day.
