Bagram Air Base Attack in Afghanistan Kills U.S. Soldiers (VIDEO)

Four US soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, hours after the US announced direct talks with the Taliban, reports say.

The soldiers were killed by “indirect fire” from insurgents at Bagram air base, US officials said.

Bagram, near the Afghan capital Kabul, is the largest military base for US troops in Afghanistan.

A condition for the talks, due to take place in the coming days in Qatar, was for the Taliban to renounce violence.
