| (Xinhua) -- A bomb blast rocked the Afghan capital on Saturday night, but causing no casualties, deputy Kabul police chief Alishah Paktiawal said. Paktiawal told Xinhua two bombs exploded, giving no more information. An unnamed local police official while reached by Xinhua said the explosion occurred near a local police department in northwest part of the capital city. "There were two bombs planted by unknown persons in front of the gate of the police compound," he said, "One bomb exploded but caused no casualties while the other bomb was successfully defused by the police." There has been no immediate responsibility claim but anti-government insurgents usually carry out such bomb attacks. |
