Taliban kills three people in second attack against NATO

A Taliban suicide bomber on Thursday rammed a motorcycle into a NATO convoy in Afghanistan, setting off an explosion that killed three people and injured four others. The attack is the second this week targeting NATO troops. The suicide bomber, dressed in a woman’s burqa outer garment to conceal the explosives, attacked the patrol convoy on Thursday evening, near the town of Qarabagh, 18 miles north of Kabul. The attack killed a soldier from the country of Georgia and two Afghan civilians. The U.S. military on Friday said the attack also injured two U.S. service members, an Afghan interpreter, and three other Georgian soldiers. The injured are in stable condition, according to the U.S. military. In a Wednesday attack also claimed by the Taliban, a suicide bomber killed two U.S. paratroopers and injured four others traveling in a NATO convoy near the city of Kandahar. The U.S. Department of Defense on Thursday identified the paratroopers as 25-year-old Spc. Christopher M. Harris from Jackson Spring, N.C., and 23-year-old Sgt. Jonathan M. Hunter, from Columbus, Ind.
