WORLD BRIEFING / AFGHANISTAN
A suicide bombing outside a NATO base killed seven civilians in southeastern Afghanistan, a local official said, a day after Taliban gunmen and bombers mounted a brazen strike in the same town.
Twenty-one civilians were wounded in the latest attack, carried out by an assailant in a car packed with explosives. An official from Khowst province said all of the victims were laborers working at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization base on the outskirts of the city of Khowst.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties among NATO-led troops.
