Four Americans have been killed and 18 others wounded after a Taliban suicide bomber dressed as a labourer blew himself up at a Nato airbase in Afghanistan, according to reports. The attacker was reportedly standing in a queue with labourers at Bagram airfield north of Kabul on Saturday when he detonated the explosives. “An explosive device was detonated on Bagram airfield resulting in multiple casualties,” the Nato-led mission to Afghanistan said in a statement. “Response teams at Bagram continue to treat the wounded and investigate the incident.”AFP reported that the Pentagon had confirmed four Americans were killed in the blast. It follows a suicide attack on the German consulate in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif late on Thursday night, which killed four people and wounded more than 100 others.
