| JALALABAD, Afghanistan (AFP) – A Taliban suicide bomber wearing an army uniform killed five foreign troops and four Afghan soldiers on Saturday in a brazen attack at the Afghan army’s eastern headquarters.
It was the deadliest single incident this year against foreign forces in war-torn Afghanistan and comes amid a wave of suicide attacks on security targets, three months before foreign forces start a limited pullback. The latest strike was at an army base in the Gambiri desert area in Laghman province, near Jalalabad city, the de facto capital of Afghanistan’s east. |
