Two US soldiers killed by Taliban attack near Afghan capital

KABUL - A Taliban bomb killed two American soldiers in a NATO convoy late on Friday night near the US Bagram Airfield base north of Kabul, a US defense official said on Saturday.

 

"Two International Security Assistance Force service members died as a result of an enemy forces attack in eastern Afghanistan on Dec. 12, 2014," a coalition press release said on Saturday.

 

The coalition, as per its policy, declined to give the soldiers' nationality but a US defense official in Washington confirmed the two were American.
