KABUL — Insurgents wearing suicide vests Saturday stormed a major NATO base in eastern Afghanistan, with at least six of them dying in a hail of gunfire before they could penetrate the defenses. No NATO or Afghan troops were killed.
Ten people, including three children, died in a separate bombing in the north.
The attacks — in Jalalabad in the east and Kunduz province in the north — show the insurgents’ fighting spirit has not been broken despite a surge in U.S. troops and firepower.
NATO also reported insurgents killed three coalition service members Saturday in southern Afghanistan, but it did not provide further details or nationalities. The Associated Press
