                         9 Wounded in Afghanistan Blast

   by VOA News

   Officials in eastern Afghanistan say a bomb blast has wounded nine
   people, including at least five police officers.
   Authorities say the explosion Wednesday in Jalalabad, the capital of
   Nangarhar province, targeted security forces.
   No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
   Taliban militants have been ramping up attacks on government forces
   lately, seeking to destabilize Afghanistan as more foreign troops
   prepare to draw down from the 12-year war.
