KABUL: An explosion close to the US Embassy and other diplomatic missions in the Macrorayan area of Kabul wounded one person on Friday, breaking a rare period of calm in Afghanistan's capital.
"Explosives planted in a bicycle went off," Kabul's Deputy Police Chief Salem Almas said.
He said one person was wounded but could not give details of the intended target.
