Suicide Bomber Attacks Army Patrol, 21 People Killed

A Taliban suicide bomber on a motor-cycle rammed an Afghan army-NATO patrol in the town of Khost on Wednesday, killing 21 people, including three U.S. soldiers, officials said.

Another 37 people were wounded in the blast in the eastern town close to the border with Pakistan, where Taliban and other Isla-mist insurgents fighting U.S.-led troops have strongholds, hospital officials said.

At least half the casualties were civilians.
