#3 Two U.S. service members and two American contractors were killed by a suicide bomber early Saturday on Afghanistan's Bagram Airfield, the U.S. military said. Sixteen American troops and one Polish soldier were wounded in the blast.

The attack was carried out by "an apparent suicide bomber," Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday in a written response to the incident. It occurred around 5:30 a.m. local time. NBC News reported the explosion struck as military personnel and others were gathering for a "fun run" organized in conjunction with Veterans Day, a detail that is certain to raise questions about the Americans' security posture at one of the few remaining U.S. installations in Afghanistan.
