   Afghan officials say a car bomb has exploded outside a government
   building in the capital.

   Nasrat Rahimi, an interior ministry spokesman, said gunmen stormed into
   a building after the blast and are exchanging gunfire with security
   forces.

   Monday's attack is the latest in a string of violence that has rocked
   the capital.

   There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
