KABUL, June 11 (RIA Novosti) - A gasoline truck exploded at the Pul-e-Charkhi prison in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Wednesday, killing four people, the country's Defense Ministry said.

A U.S. citizen and his interpreter, as well as two workers from a local transport company, died in the blast.

Several military officers and civilians were injured in the incident. Firemen spent two hours putting out the resulting fire.

The Pul-e-Charkhi prison is infamous for the murder and torture of thousands of people during the country's Communist era.
