KABUL, Afghanistan -- AP
A powerful explosion shook the northeastern part of the Afghan capital Saturday night, shattering glass in a multistory apartment complex but causing no serious injuries. The blast occurred in the neighborhood of the U.S. embassy.

Din Mohammad Jurat, security chief at the Interior Ministry, said the blast in a rubbish pile was detonated by about 11 pounds of explosives.

The explosion left a small crater and strewed rubble across the street from a five-story apartment building.
