KABUL -- Taliban gunmen have killed eight Afghan guards working at the largest American base in Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday (June 20).
The guards were ambushed near Bagram base north of Kabul as they were driving home in a convoy late Monday, said district governor Abdul Shakoor Quddusi.
"They were all local residents serving as guards at Bagram," he said, adding that two other guards were wounded.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
