    KABUL (Reuters) - An explosion was heard near the airport in the Afghan capital Kabul on Monday, a police department spokesman said.

    There were no immediate details on casualties or damage from the blast, which occurred in an area close to where a suicide bomber killed one person and wounded 33 last week.
