KATHMANDU, Dec 27 (Reuters) - One person was wounded in a blast near Kathmandu's international airport on Saturday, police said.

The blast shattered windows at a local airline office about half a kilometre from the Tribhuvan International Airport in the Nepali capital, said police official Ganga Pant. No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.

More than 13,000 people were killed during a decade-long civil war in Nepal which ended in 2006 in a peace deal with Maoist rebels. (Reporting by Gopal Sharma; Editing by Valerie Lee) (For the latest Reuters news on Nepal see: http://in.reuters.com, for blogs see http://blogs.reuters.com/in/)
