Suicide Attack Kills 6 in Kabul; Group Tells AP of Plans to Target U.S. Soldiers 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A suicide bombing in Afghanistan's capital of Kabul has reportedly
killed at least four NATO service members and six Afghan civilians, some
of whom are believed to be children. Afghan police say they found the
bodies of four Americans. A militant group told the Associated Press
they have created a new cell to attack U.S. and other coalition soldiers
in response to reports the U.S. plans to keep bases and troops in
Afghanistan after the withdrawal next year. The United States has denied
seeking permanent bases in Afghanistan.
