Kabul - One man died on Wednesday and another 27 people, including children, were injured in two explosions that rocked a city in eastern Afghanistan, officials said.

The bombs hit two security posts in the city of Jalalabad shortly after 3pm, Agha Jan, a military official from surrounding Nangarhar province, told reporters.

Deputy police chief Abdul Rehman said one of the explosions occurred close to a bus station and the second at a police post on a main road.

Karzai isn't likely to get any help. The pipeline is underway, the oil companies are fairly short sited, so I don't think they care what happens to the guy in the short term. He will probably end up hanging from an olive tree like his predecessor.
