By NNN-Xinhua,
Kabul : A blast rocked Afghan capital Kabul Saturday, causing panic among the war-weary people.
The blast which shocked the diplomat enclave Wazir Akhbar Khan district and heard in adjoining areas caused panic among war-weary citizens.
However, official with the press department of Interior Ministry who declined to be named told Xinhua that a construction company exploded explosive materials in eastern part of the city, but did not identify the firm.
In the post-Taliban country, which is the most mine contaminated nation in the world, de-mining agencies often collect and detonate explosive devices in deserts and isolated areas as part of efforts to clean the country from mines.
Just days ago a powerful blast in Wazir Akbar Khan district left eight persons dead and injured over 40 others.
