Attack
on one of the biggest NATO bases in Afghanistan
Jalalabad - Taliban gunmen set off a car bomb and fired rocket propelled grenades on Wednesday
at Jalalabad, one of the biggest NATO bases in eastern
Afghanistan. Suicide bombers were also involved in the
strike. Jalalabad is one of NATO's largest bases in Afghanistan, after Kandahar in the south and Bagram, north of Kabul, which have both been attacked in recent
months. Wednesday's attack coincided with a visit to Kabul by US Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss efforts to battle corruption and enforce the rule of law in
Afghanistan.
