Many dead in Afghanistan bank blast
At least 33 people have been killed and 100 injured in a suicide bomb attack in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, BBC News reported.
The blast happened outside a bank where government staff and military personnel were collecting their salaries, the region's police chief said.
No group has said it carried out the attack, and a spokesman for the Taliban said it was not involved.
The BBC's Shahzheb Jillani in Kabul said it is the largest attack in Jalalabad in many months.
Children are said to be among the victims.
Afghanistan's President, Ashraf Ghani, called it a "cowardly and heinous terrorist act".
One eyewitness, Jaweed Khan, said: "I saw many people, dead bodies and injured people on the ground.
"Ambulances arrived very late, and many people died of their wounds."
