                    Suicide Blast Kills 2 in Afghan Capital

   by VOA News

   A suicide bombing near a NATO base in Afghanistan's capital has killed
   two Afghan security guards and wounded five civilians.
   Officials said Wednesday's attack involved two men wearing suicide
   vests, and that at least one of them detonated their explosives after
   being shot at by Afghan security forces.
   The blast hit an area near Camp Eggers in a section of Kabul that
   houses NATO coalition headquarters as well as foreign embassies.  The
   attack, claimed by the Taliban, prompted alarms at the U.S. Embassy.
   NATO said the blast damaged one of its vehicles, but that there were no
   reports of casualties among coalition troops.
