| [Guardian] At least four people have been killed and 18 wounded after a Taliban suicide bomber dressed as a labourer blew himself up at a Nato airbase in Afghanistan. The attacker was reportedly standing in a queue with labourers at Bagram airfield north of Kabul on Saturday when he detonated the explosives. "An explosive device was detonated on Bagram airfield resulting in multiple casualties," the Nato-led mission to Afghanistan said in a statement. "Response teams at Bagram continue to treat the wounded and investigate the incident." Waheed Sediqqi, a spokesman for the Parwan provincial governor, said the bomber detonated a suicide vest after entering the heavily protected site, the largest US base in the country. Sediqqi said four people had been killed and 18 wounded. There was no immediate word on the identity of the victims. The attack, responsibility for which was claimed by the Taliban, underlines the foreign policy challenge that will face US president-elect, Donald Trump, when he takes office in January. |
