DHAKA: An attack in eastern Afghanistan killed four NATO service members and several others Tuesday.

The soldiers were patrolling an area in Bagram when a suicide bomber on a bicycle detonated his explosives vest, said Wahid Sediqi, a spokesman for the governor of Parwan province.

In addition to the service members, the blast killed two Afghan police officers and 10 civilians. Eight others, including a child, were wounded, Sediqi said.

The International Security Assistance Force confirmed the NATO fatalities. But per policy, the alliance didn't release the nationalities of the victims, or details of the attack.
