Explosion Hits Afghan Capital Kabul

An explosion hit the Afghan capital of Kabul during the morning rush hour on Monday, reports Reuters.

The explosion, in the Shashdarak area close to buildings of the NDS intelligence service, came a week after a blast killed 60 people at a voter registration center in the west of the city. 

A Kabul police spokesman confirmed the blast and said it might have been caused by a suicide attack, but there was no confirmation and no immediate claim of responsibility.
