A suicide car bomber has detonated explosives near a U.S.-run military facility in Afghanistan, killing three civilians.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place on Wednesday near the facility known as Forward Operating Base Chapman.
In 2009, seven ((U.S.)) Central Intelligence Agency employees and a Jordanian worker were killed at the base in a suicide bombing by an al-Qaida-linked agent.
The facility is located in the eastern city of Khost, a volatile region near the Pakistani border.
There were no reports of NATO casualties in Wednesday's blast, which also left seven people wounded.
