A deadly blast in Afghanistan near the Pakistan border killed up to 15 people including civilians and Afghan soldiers. It is not clear yet who is responsible for the blast. But I'll take one wild guess and say the taliban. Reuters

KABUL (Reuters) - At least 15 Afghans were killed and 25 wounded on Tuesday in an explosion in eastern Afghanistan, close to the border with Pakistan, a spokesman for NATO-led forces said.

"Initial reports are that 15 local nationals were killed and another 25 were wounded in an explosion in Nangarhar province," the spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.

Residents in the district, south of the city of Jalalabad, said Afghan forces and civilians were among the dead, which they said could total as many as 31.
