soldiers have been killed in a multi-pronged insurgent attack on a
remote American base in eastern Afghanistan.
The attack appears to be the deadliest against U.S. forces in
Afghanistan in years.
NATO's International Security Assistance force says that
militants fired machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars
from homes and a mosque in the village of Wanat in Kunar province,
a mountainous region that borders Pakistan.
The Western official says that nine U.S. soldiers have been
killed. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the
deaths had not yet been officially announced.
