Afghan insurgents attack key Nato base in Kandahar
Saturday, 22 May 2010
The BBC Online

Insurgents have attacked Nato's main military base in southern Afghanistan.

A Nato spokesman said Kandahar airfield had come under rocket and mortar fire, followed by a ground assault. Several Nato personnel were wounded.

Officials said the attackers had tried to get into the base, but were repelled by security forces.

It is the second attack on a major installation in the last few days - on Wednesday militants attacked the US military base at Bagram.

Nato also said that seperate attacks in southern Afghanistan earlier on Saturday killed three Nato personnel and a civilian working with the military.
