THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A suicide car bomber has killed at least 13 American troops in the Afghan capital Kabul on Saturday in the deadliest single ground attack on foreign troops in 10 years of war in Afghanistan.
"We can confirm that 13 International Security Assistance Force members have died," said a spokesman for the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
A US official confirmed that all 13 Nato service members were American troops.
Excluding helicopter crashes, it was the deadliest single incident for foreign troops since the war began in 2001.
It is the largest single-day US loss in Afghanistan since the August crash in Wardak province that killed 38 people, including 22 Navy Seals. » | Saturday, October 29, 2011
