At least four people were injured Saturday in a blast near a music shop in Jalalabad, capital city of eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar, officials said.

"Four injured men were admitted to a provincial capital hospital this afternoon," head of provincial health department, Baz Mohammad Shirzad, told Xinhua, adding the injured were in serious condition.

Meantime, a police official in the city said that a bomb was detonated near a music shop at around 3:20 p.m. local time and the blast also damaged several nearby shops in the city 160 km east of capital Kabul.

No group or individual have claimed of responsibility.

Taliban militants during their rule in Afghanistan which collapsed in late 2001 had banned music and all other entertainments.

A total of 23 people including 17 civilians were killed when Taliban launched an attack against a popular hotel in Qargha Lake, a picnic spot in western Kabul late on Thursday.
