At least eight people have been killed and dozens wounded by a powerful car bomb in western Afghanistan. The late-night blast targeted a police station in the city of Herat. Around 50 people were wounded, and homes and shops were destroyed. The government blamed the Taliban but a spokesman for the group denied responsibility. The United Nations has condemned what it calls an alarming increase in attacks targeting civilians. Turkey plans to hold peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban in April.
