<b>Blast in Afghanistan as Cheney visits</b>
A blast near the gates of the main US base in Afghanistan, where US Vice-President Dick Cheney is visiting, has killed 18 people, according to the interior ministry.
The cause of the explosion outside Bagram airbase, 60km north of Kabul, is not yet known.
(It was the T-ban acting on ISI instructions, as reprisal for the US via Cheney having told off Terroristan and its Mushroomaff. <!--emo&

Cheney stayed at the base overnight after planned talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai were delayed by weather.
"The vice-president is fine," spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.
The Afghanistan interior ministry said 15 Afghanis and three foreign soldiers were killed in the suicide attack.
"Initial reports are stating that 18 people were killed and three of them are foreign soldiers," interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary said.
"The 15 others are civilian Afghan workers who wanted to enter Bagram air base for their work. On injuries we do not have exact reports."
(Terrorists blow up 15 Afghans and only 3 kaffirs. Is that the going-rate for islamoterrorists these days: they murder 5 times as many of their own for every kaffir they get?)
Bagram is a sprawling complex and the main gates are some distance from offices and living quarters.
An Afghan official said the explosion occurred inside a shipping container, but gave no more details, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press said.
Some containers are used as shops in the market lining the road to the base. Others are carried on trucks to bring supplies into the base.
A Reuters correspondent travelling with the US delegation said they were not aware of the blast until they heard sirens and were told by a military spokesman that the base was "under attack".
"We were told there was a 'red alert'," Caren Bohan said.
"There was a commotion, but it ended pretty quickly. We didn't hear any bomb or anything like that from where we were."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
