Khost: A blast in the eastern Afghan city of Khost on Wednesday killed three people and injured seven others, and the Taliban said they had sent a suicide bomber in a vehicle to attack an American military base.
The area’s police chief said the explosion took place near a U.S. base. Hospital officials said three people were killed and the number of casualties was expected to rise.
Three years ago, an al Qaeda-linked Jordanian double-agent killed seven CIA employees and a Jordanian intelligence officer in a suicide bombing at a U.S. base in Khost.
Afghan authorities are scrambling to improve security across Afghanistan before the U.S. combat mission ends in 2014.
