Explosion near U.S. Embassy in Kabul-- There was a massive explosion near the US embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Although officials were alarmed, there were no Americans harmed in the blast. The Pentagon and NATO are currently investigating. U.S. Embassy spokesman Lou Fintor said the explosion did not take place on embassy grounds. The explosion occurred at a building directly next to the embassy that houses a TV and police station.
