Suicide attack kills 2 NATO troops in Afghanistan
KHOST, Afghanistan A suicide attack Tuesday at a joint NATO-Afghan base in eastern Afghanistan killed two international service members and wounded several others, the military alliance said.
The attack in remote Khost province near the Pakistan border was on a compound used by both international forces and the Afghan Border Police, NATO said. Residents in the province's Ali Shir district said they heard a large blast at the base after dark.
A NATO statement later said that two international troops were killed and several others wounded. It gave no further details, but said an investigation was under way.
