Suicide Bomber Kills NATO And Afghan Troops -- Al Jazeera
Attack on base in eastern province claims up to nine lives, a day after the assassination of Kandahar city police chief.
A suicide bomber wearing an Afghan security-forces uniform has blown himself up at the entrance to a military base in eastern province of Laghman, killing five foreign and four Afghan soldiers, officials say.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed in a statement on Saturday the deaths of five of its men. It is the highest toll of foreign soldiers in a single incident in several months.
General Mohammad Zahir Azimi, an Afghan defence ministry spokesman, said a man on foot detonated his vest packed with explosives about 7:30am local time at the entrance to the base, which is shared by Afghan and international forces.
