A Taliban suicide bomber driving a truck attacked a NATO combat post in central Afghanistan on Sunday, killing two people and wounding more than 100, many of them Americans, NATO and the US Army. News of Saturday’s attack came as the world marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in the United States and led to the invasion of Afghanistan and toppling of the Taliban at the end of 2001. The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said 77 of its personnel and about 25 Afghan nationals were wounded in the blast in Sayed Abad district in central Wardak province. Two Afghans were killed, it added in a statement, describing the attack as a “failed attempt by insurgents to degrade operational capabilities and cause loss of life to coalition troops”.
