An assault by suicide bombers and gunmen against a NATO base in southern Afghanistan on Monday killed one service member, the coalition said.
All nine insurgents were killed during the attack on a coalition base in southern Kandahar's Zhari district, an Afghan official and NATO said. The group wore coalition uniforms and two civilian bystanders also died, the Afghan said.
