Afrasianet - At least 22 people have been killed and 50 injured in an explosion in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad.
The blast happened outside a bank, said the chief of police for Nangahar province, Fazel Ahmad Sherzad.
He said the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber on a motorbike.
Government workers and military personnel were waiting to collect their salaries outside the branch of the New Kabul Bank when the explosion occurred, Mr Sherzad said.
A second blast was also reported outside a shrine in Jalalabad on Saturday morning. There are no reported casualties.
No group has said it carried out the attacks.
On 10 April, a Taliban assault on a Nato convoy near Jalalabad airport killed three civilians.
