Suicide bomber in Kabul kills 2

Afghan authorities said Sunday they have yet to determine the identity of the attacker, but initial investigations led them to a cache of ammunition and weapons in a nearby home.

"The investigation is going on. The identity of the attacker is not known," interior ministry spokesman Lutfullah Mashal told AFP.

"The crime scene investigation unit is conducting initial investigations right now. Some explosives were found in a house close to the site -- (anti-personnel) mines, anti-tank mines and other explosives."

The attack occurred at 3:30 pm (1100 GMT) on Saturday when a bearded man dressed like a beggar blew himself up with grenades on Chicken Street, a narrow, crowded road crammed with carpet, antique and jewellery stores.

A spokesman for the US-led military coalition in Afghanistan, Major Mark McCann, said Sunday an American woman was killed in the attack but was unable to give further details about her identity.
