Two US soldiers wounded in suicide attack

A suicide car bomber wounded two US soldiers and some Afghans in an attack in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, a US military spokesman said.

The bomber blew himself up at the gate of a district government center in Khost province. Khost is opposite Pakistan’s North Waziristan region, a sanctuary for Taliban militants and their al-Qaeda allies.

The wounded soldiers were from the NATO force in Afghanistan, the US spokesman said. He did not know how many Afghans had been wounded.

Such attacks are relatively common in Khost and Afghan officials have long complained that the bombers are being sent from militant sanctuaries in Pakistan.

Violence has also spread to the west of the country but is still at its worst along the Pakistani border. But NATO says coordination with the Pakistan military along the porous border has been improving.
