Truck bomb explodes in Afghanistan, killing 20

The Afghan Interior Ministry says the death toll from a suicide attack against a construction company in eastern Afghanistan has increased to 20 killed and about 50 wounded.

A statement issued by the ministry said three insurgents carried out the attack late Sunday using a truck carrying a large amount of explosives.

The ministry said Monday that the attackers shot their way into the compound before detonating the bomb.
