THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: And I have a little more information on that explosion out of Afghanistan just a short time ago. We understand 50 people are dead or wounded in Jalalabad. That's in Eastern Afghanistan. And we understand the explosion happened at the Afghan Construction and Logistics Union. And these people aren't involved in the military at all. They actually build roads. So we don't understand why that particular office was targeted or if it indeed was targeted.
Again, 50 people dead or wounded in Jalalabad in the Afghan Construction and Logistics Unit. As we get more information, of course we will pass it along to you.
