KABUL, Afghanistan - Afghan police say a blast has killed a child and wounded at least a dozen other civilians at a wedding in a province east of Kabul.
Officials gave differing accounts of the explosion Thursday night in Nangarhar province.
The Ministry of Interior, which oversees the police, says a child was killed and 12 other people were wounded when someone threw a grenade. Provincial police spokesman Ghafor Khan says it was a mine that exploded in a tent where males were celebrating and that 16 people were wounded in addition to the child who died.
Khan says preliminary reports indicate a family dispute was behind the violence near the city of Jalalabad.
