Kabul:
A bomb hit a military vehicle in the diplomatic quarter of the Afghan capital on Sunday, a day before the inauguration of a new president.
Police said one person was wounded and no one killed by the magnetic bomb, which was attached to a military truck in Zanbaq Square, near the vast presidential palace compound and several embassies.
A Reuters witness said the bomb tore off the driver's seat door.
"At 9:15 this morning, a sticky bomb attached to an Afghan army vehicle exploded in Zanbaq Square ... only injuring the driver," Najib Danish, Interior Ministry deputy spokesman, told Reuters.
Security is tight in Kabul ahead of Monday's inauguration of new President Ashraf Ghani, who will replace long-time leader Hamid Karzai just before most foreign troops withdraw from the violence-racked country.
