Taliban Claims Attack That killed 8 Americans

KANDAHAR : The Taliban on Thursday claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on a base in eastern Afghanistan that killed eight Americans.
“We claim responsibility for the attack,” purported Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid.
The US government said eight Americans were killed in the attack on a military base in Khost province on Wednesday afternoon.
However, claimed the attack killed 16 Americans.
The Islamist militia, which has been fighting for eight years to overthrow the Western-backed Afghan government and eject foreign troops from Afghanistan, routinely exaggerate claims about the losses their attacks inflict.
