Explosion heard in Afghan capital

7 October, 2004

There has been a loud explosion in the Afghan capital, Kabul on the eve of the country's presidential elections.

The blast happened near the main headquarters of international peacekeepers, an official told the Associated Press news agency.

It was not clear if there were any casualties, or what caused the blast.
