At least two dead in explosions hit the U.S. and Israeli embassies in the Uzbek capital Friday, a top police official said. Another blast also hit the general prosecutor's office and caused "deaths," a Russian news agency reported.
Embassy officials weren't immediately available for comment, but Israel Radio reported that a suicide bomber set off the explosion at the Israeli Embassy in Tashkent.
The victims who were killed at the Israeli Embassy were not Israeli citizens but were foreign workers employed ther, Israel Radio said.
Interfax reported there were deaths in an explosion at the general prosecutor's office, citing an unnamed source at the office.
The apparent blasts come as the first 15 suspects are standing trial for a wave of violence earlier this year that left at least 47 people dead. Those attacks had included Central Asia's first-ever suicide bombings.
