Elsewhere in Kabul, three people died when a pressure-cooker explosive detonated near a roundabout, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said.
Seddiqi also said that Afghan political analyst Ahmad Saeed was rushed to a hospital after unknown gunmen shot him Tuesday afternoon in the volatile Asian nation`s capital.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the bombing or shooting.
Violence has plagued Afghanistan for years, pitting the government and its allies against the Taliban, the extremist group that led the country before the U.S.-led assault following the September 11, 2001, attacks.
