Four Americans were killed on Tuesday in an attack on Bagram air base by insurgents in Afghanistan.

According to a US defense official seeking anonymity, the deaths were caused by insurgent indirect fire of either mortars or rockets.

The report of casualties came hours after the Taliban insurgency announced it would enter peace talks with the Afghan government and the United States and after NATO formally handed over responsibility for security to the Kabul government.
