THE TELEGRAPH: Six Taliban suicide bombers launched a brazen daylight attack on one of the biggest Nato bases in Afghanistan one day after Gen David Petraeus warned of escalating violence.
Several attackers were killed when gunmen set off a car bomb and fired rocket propelled grenades at the Jalalabad air base in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday.
Two service personnel were injured, according to the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force.
The attack began at 0730 local time, with suicide bombers surrounding the base from different directions.
A Nato spokesman said the perimeter of the base had not been breached. >>> | Wednesday, June 30, 2010
