Eight Americans have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in south-eastern Afghanistan, US officials say.
The suicide bomber was wearing an explosive vest as he carried out the attack at a forward operating base in Khost province, CNN reported.
Details about the attack are still emerging and it was not clear how many people had been injured.
One unnamed US official was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying that all of those killed were civilians.

RIP.
8 US Military contractors or US State Department workers and not Soldiers? In any case, RIP.
Looks like the headline edit is wrong. According to the article they are civilians. RIP
Oh, so these are Afghan civilians and not US.
Prayers for the families of these brave heroes, and for the soldiers who served with them. Prayers for our nation that we are able to survive the next three years.
It says they’re US civilians.
Correct- apologies
***8 US Military contractors or US State Department workers and not Soldiers? In any case, RIP.***
To the Islamic mind, all men, women, children and babies are considered “fair game”.
And the BBC broadcasts this and the US media is silent to this point because???
Indeed.... just more results from dithering.
But, there is an upside... Obama was able to pretend that he was the boss and that he knew better than even the Generals fighting the war.
The dithering also gave him time to work on his Obamacare, golf score, stealing a war chest for dem elections, world traveling and his weekly Wednesday night parties.... orgies or whatever they are.
Look folks, Obama worked hard to get this job, please don’t take the fun out of it for him by holding him responsible for anything. That wouldn’t be fair and it might even be racist.
Prayers up.
Rest in peace.
I’m sorry this took place. I’m sure the Left is praying to Allah that there were Halliburton people involved.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those lost. They were involved in trying to support U.S. interests, our interests in that foreign nation. I appreciate their efforts very much.
Prayers up for the survivors and families of the fallen.

U.S. Official: 8 Americans Killed in Afghanistan
At least eight American civilians were killed Wednesday after an explosion in eastern Afghanistan.
A U.S. military official told Fox News that the blast occured at Forward Operating Base Chapman in the Khost province. Eight Americans, who were described as civilians and not members of the military, were killed.
A senior U.S. official in Washington said the Americans were killed by an attacker wearing a suicide vest....
Euphemism for CIA?
I’m sure Hussein will react by waggling his finger at the American public and saying that we can’t act or form an opinion on anything “until all the facts are in”. They can spend a trillion dollars based on bogus studies and preconceived notions that they were taught in college, but they can’t act against any enemy until we have met a ridiculous standard of courtroom level proof that is unachievable out in the real world where (gasp) things can be a little messy.
And then go snorkling.
Sure, we are killng our own in more ways than one——but let’s continue sending more billions a day to the main source of terror funding: Saudi Arabia.
