         Afghan Police: Explosions Near Home of Presidential Candidate

   Afghan police say suicide bombers have attacked an election office in
   the capital, Kabul.
   The Independent Election Commission office is near the home of Ashraf
   Ghani, a candidate in the country`s April 5 presidential election.
   Ghani was not in his house at the time of the attack Tuesday, and there
   were no immediate reports of casualties.
   The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombings, which were
   followed by a fierce exchange of gunfire between militants and Afghan
   security forces.
   Taliban insurgents have vowed to disrupt the upcoming vote, which is
   considered key to Afghanistan`s stability after international troops
   end their combat mission in December. If successful, the poll would
   mark the country`s first democratic transfer of power.
