TALIBAN BOMB ATTACK KILLS THREE AMERICAN SOLDIERS

-

A roadside bomb killed three American soldiers in eastern Afghanista­n on Tuesday, the U.S. military said. The military said three other service members were wounded when the bomb went off near the city of Ghazni. An American contractor was also wounded, it said. The military did not immediatel­y identify any of the casualties. The Taliban claimed the attack, saying a U.S. tank was destroyed. It appeared to be the deadliest attack on American forces since June 2017, when an Afghan army soldier shot and killed three U.S. soldiers in an insider attack. The Taliban claimed that attack.
