Rioting erupted in Kabul Friday when scores of Afghan men set fire to two US embassy vehicles after one collided with a civilian car killing a number of occupants, officials and witnesses said.
Television pictures showed the vehicles in flames and young Afghan men throwing stones at them.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said it had despatched a quick reaction force to the area, outside the American embassy and near US and Afghan army bases in the centre of the city.
An ISAF official said the vehicles involved belonged to the US embassy.
"We don't know yet how many people were killed in the accident," interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashery said.
