| Huge Explosion Rocks Afghan Capital
26 minutes ago
KABUL, Afghanistan - A massive explosion rocked downtown Kabul late Wednesday near its diplomatic area where the U.S. Embassy is located. A large plume of white smoke rose into the air.
The source of the blast was not immediately clear. Emergency vehicle sirens could be heard speeding to the area of the blast.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Lou Fintor could not confirm if the blast targeted the heavily guarded American diplomatic mission, where staff rushed to a bunker in the compound after the blast.
"We are trying to determine what has happened and locate the source of the explosion," Fintor told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
