At least six people were killed and seven others injured in a massive explosion that destroyed several houses outside the US-led military coalition’s main base in Afghanistan, the US military and rescue workers said. “Four bodies were pulled out from the rubble and two bodies were missing,” US Army Major David Long said at the site of the blast in Qala-e-Gulai village, less than a kilometre (half a mile) from Bagram Air Base north of Kabul. Long said it appeared that people in the house at the centre of the blast were dismantling a cluster bomb, which exploded. “The guy had pulled out parts of the bomb,” he said.
