A bomb blew up a police car on Thursday evening in the Tajik capital Dushanbe where the presidents of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Russia were holding security talks, an interior ministry source said on Friday, Reuters reported.
Tajikistan, a volatile nation north of Afghanistan, was hosting a summit attended by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Pakistan's Asif Ali Zardari and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev.
The source said a bomb planted inside a police car went off, wounding one officer. No one was killed.
"We are trying to figure out whether it was a terrorist act or a personal grudge against this particular policeman," the source said.
Medvedev was still in Tajikistan on Friday morning to attend a ceremony marking the opening of a Moscow-built hydroelectric power station outside the capital Dushanbe.
