Several US and Afghan troops were killed or wounded when anti-US Afghan
Mujahideen attacked a base of US troops at Lawara Mandi in Paktia province
of eastern Afghanistan.

Reports reaching here said that about fifteen to twenty missiles hit the
base causing huge losses to the barracks, equipment and vehicles. Report
said that several troops were evacuated from the base after the attack which
were either killed or wounded. Meanwhile, a vehicle of the US troops blew up
in pieces when a landmine exploded near Gardez. All the persons in the
vehicle are believed to have been killed.

AIP also said the civilian airport in the eastern city of Jalalabad came
under rocket attack overnight. Meanwhile, some 200 US troops arrived on
Wednesday in the southeast Afghan city of Khost, an Afghan news agency
reported.

Official Statement

Unidentified attackers fired several rockets at a US base in the
southeastern Afghan city of Khost on Wednesday but no one was hurt, a US
military spokesman said. "There was a rocket attack, two 107 mm rockets were
fired but neither one hit with close enough proximity to do any damage,"
said Lieutenant Colonel Roger King.

King said the attack, at the southeastern town of Lwara, was "not an unusual
occurrence."

Earlier, on Wednesday a gunman opened fire at the US-dominated base at
Bagram north of Kabul. He was arrested after US soldiers guarding the base
returned fire and injured him. A US military spokeswoman said earlier that
two local men were involved in the incident, although it was not clear
whether both opened fire. She said both men had been arrested.

The shooting coincided with a dawn ceremony at the base to mark the first
anniversary of the suicide attacks in the United States which were blamed on
Al-Qaida.
