Kabul: A large explosion has been heard in the Afghan capital today as the international military coalition hands over security responsibility to the nascent national army and police.
Kabul deputy police chief Mohammad Daoud Amin says today's blast was near the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission in the Pul-e-Surkh area of the western part of the city. No further details were available.
The Taliban insurgency has been pressing an intense campaign of violence in the run-up to Tuesday's security handover, attended by NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
