Explosion rocks Pakistani open-air circus in Afghanistan
 Gunpowder laid near a Pakistani circus troupe performing for hundreds of locals exploded in northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, causing no injuries, police said. Provincial police chief Gen Mushtaba Patang earlier reported the blast was caused by a hand grenade thrown into the area, but said later that further investigations found the explosion was caused by gunpowder. The blast happened in a park in central Taluqan, capital of Takhar province, as some 500 people watched the open-air circus. Patang had no details on who detonated the gunpowder, which he said caused a loud explosion.
