A bomb explosion hit a bus carrying Afghan women election workers in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, UN and Afghan officials said, killing at least three people in the bloodiest attack yet on preparations for the country's first post-Taliban vote.

A purported spokesman for the Taliban, which has vowed to sabotage the September election, claimed responsibility for the attack.

The explosion occurred at about 8am, when the locally hired bus was on the outskirts of the city of Jalalabad, 120km east of the capital, Kabul, UN spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva said.
