A suicide bomb attack in Kabul has killed at least 16 people and injured more than 40 others outside the Supreme Court, Afghan police say.

The attacker drove a car packed with explosives at buses which were transporting court staff, including judges, police told the BBC.

In a statement sent to the BBC, the Taliban said they carried out the attack.

The court is a few hundred metres from the entrance to the US Embassy.
