KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber drove a car into a crowd of workers at the gates of a U.S. military base in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, killing 12 workers and wounding 22 others, Afghan officials said. The bomber failed to penetrate the base, and no U.S. military personnel were wounded, the military said.
The attack came early on Afghanistan’s Independence Day, commemorating liberty from the British Empire in 1919. Hours later, the two top U.S. generals in Afghanistan warned of a heightened security threat during celebrations.
