A small bomb exploded in a music shop in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, wounding four people, a military commander said. The bomb went off in the morning in a CD store in Khost, said the commander, Sur Gul. Music and video stores have often been targets of attacks in recent months in Khost, a stronghold of the former Taliban regime, which outlawed such entertainment as an abomination.
