Deadly blast strikes during afternoon rush hour, a day after Taliban suicide squad fires rockets at city's airport.
Explosives were packed into a Toyota Corolla, Afghanistan's most popular car, and detonated beside three buses waiting to take workers home, a common sight outside government offices because of the dire state of the city's public transport network.
Local hospitals received nine bodies and 24 injured patients, said Kaneshka Turkistani, spokesman for the ministry of health.
The city's deputy police chief, Daoud Amin, said survivors had been herded into rooms by security guards. "The blast hit just as people were going out to the buses," he added. "All the windows have been shattered. It is a terrible mess in here."
