(Rafiq Maqbool/Associated Press)A roadside bomb struck a military vehicle Sunday on the outskirts the Afghan capital, killing one person and wounding another.
A U.S. military official confirmed the casualties but did not specify their nationalities.
However, a district police chief, Bariyalay Khan, said the vehicle was part of a convoy carrying Americans.
The blast happened on the eastern outskirts of Kabul on a road leading to a police training centre, he said.
Canadian troops in Afghanistan are concentrated in the province of Kandahar in the south.
Najib Rahman, another police official at the scene of the blast, said an American helicopter landed to pick up the wounded while another hovered overhead.
Militants regularly use roadside bombs to attack Afghan and foreign troops in the country, where forces of the former Taliban government are fighting the current regime and its NATO allies.
More than 2,700 people, mostly militants, have been killed so far this year in conflict-related violence, according to an Associated Press tally of figures from Afghan and Western officials
