At Least 23 Wounded in Afghan Blast

   VOA News

   Officials in northern Afghanistan say twin bomb blasts have injured at
   least 23 people, including at least seven security personnel.

   Authorities say the explosions tore through a market Monday in Baghlan
   province.
   The French news agency says the second explosion happened after
   security forces arrived to investigate the initial blast and that half
   of those wounded were children.
   There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
