A bombing in the Afghan capital on Wednesday targeted the convoy of the country's first vice president, who suffered minor injuries in the attack that killed 10 people and wounded at least 31, including several of the vice president's bodyguards, the Interior Ministry said.
First Vice President Amrullah Saleh suffered minor burns in the blast. The bomb was hidden in a cart by the roadside and detonated as his convoy passed by.
