(Adds details)

KABUL, Mar 14 (Reuters) - An Afghan army patrol was attacked by a suicide bomber in Kabul on Wednesday, witnesses said.

There were no immediate details of casualties from the blast, in a busy area of the capital.

Last year, the bloodiest since the Taliban's ouster in 2001, the city was rocked by several suicide attacks that killed dozens.

The Taliban say they will step up suicide attacks across the country this year.

REFILE - ADDING TITLES Activists of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) hold a placard as they shout slogans against President Pervez Musharraf outside the Supreme Court building during a demonstration in Islamabad March 21, 2007 against the suspension of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry. Several dozen Pakistani opposition activists were detained hours ahead of more protests over the government's move to sack the country's chief judge, police said on Wednesday.
