U.S. soldiers die in Afghan blast

Associated Press
Kabul — Seven U.S. soldiers were killed and three injured in an explosion Thursday, U.S. Central Command said. One soldier was missing.

An Afghan interpreter also was wounded in the 3 p.m. explosion near the city of Ghazni, 100 kilometres southwest of the capital, Kabul. The soldiers were working around a weapons cache when the blast occurred, Centcom said in a statement.

The wounded soldiers were taken to a hospital at Bagram Air Base, headquarters for the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan. Names were being withheld pending notification of relatives.
