And they’re gearing up in Afghanistan……..not sure if these are one an the same, or two seperate incidents.

KABUL, Afghanistan - A bomb blast hit a U.S. Embassy convoy on a busy road in Kabul on Monday, pushing one vehicle across the road and setting it on fire, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said.

First aid was administered to two people in the convoy, according to the AP reporter, who witnessed the blast. The reporter said it did not appear that the U.S. ambassador was traveling in the three-vehicle convoy.

A U.S. Embassy spokesman said he couldn’t immediately comment.

KABUL (Reuters) - A suicide bomber attacked Western troops in the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday, but there was no immediate word about casualties, police said.

The attack happened on a main road leading east, which is often used by NATO and U.S.-led troops, a police officer said.

Western troops had sealed off the site of the attack, he told Reuters from the scene.
