Cheney meets Afghan president after suicide blast
KABUL (AFP) - US Vice President Dick Cheney met President Hamid Karzai in the Afghan capital Tuesday, hours after a suicide blast at the US base where he had spent the night killed several people, an official said.

The leaders met at the presidential palace in Kabul, an official in the Afghan leader's office said, giving no further details.

They were due to pose for photographers after their talks.

Cheney and Karzai had been due to meet Monday but bad weather prevented the vice president from travelling to the city from Bagram Air Base, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) away, where he had arrived from Pakistan.
