The blast hit Taimani and Khair Khana area came at a time of heightened concern over tensions between ethnic groups in Afghanistan, was attributed to a small bomb attached to a bicycle, Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi said.
He said there were no casualties, but some media reported two people were wounded. Sporadic bombing in Afghanistan is on the rise from a decade and there seems no hope for the future Afghan generations.
