Suicide Bomber Attacks U.S. Base In Afghanistan
March 3, 2008 -- Afghan officials say a suicide car bomber today attacked a U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan, collapsing a guard post with American soldiers inside.
Lutfullah Babakarheil, a police district chief, said the attacker in Khost Province rammed the explosives-laden car into the gates of the U.S. base in Yaqoubi district. A military official said three NATO soldiers were wounded in the attack, but he would not disclose the soldiers' nationalities because
of strict rules set by NATO.
