Three bombers drove up in a car before detonating their explosives, police said.Gunfire was heard for an hour after the blast which took place at 10:00 local time (06:30 GMT).

At least three civilians are reported to have been killed, but Indian officials say no Indian citizens were hurt.Indian buildings in Afghanistan have been attacked before.

At least 20 people were injured in the Jalalabad attack, according to the police.

"A car containing explosives hit a barrier near the consulate and detonated," Ahmadzia Abdulzai, Nangarhar province spokesman, told AFP news agency.

He said the blast had damaged nearby shops.It is not clear who was behind the blast. Jalalabad has frequently been the target of Taliban attacks, including a bomb blast at the airport last year, but a Taliban spokesman denied responsibility.
