A suicide car bomber struck a governor's compound north of the Afghan capital on Monday while U.S. troops were inside, officials said. The blast killed two Afghan civilians and wounded two American soldiers, Associated Press reported. A unit of U.S. troops from the nearby American base at Bagram were meeting with the governor, and their vehicles were parked outside the gate when the bomber detonated his explosives, said Parwan province's police chief, Khalil Ziae. The blast killed two Afghans and wounded 15, said Ziae. U.S. Sgt. 1st Class Joel Peavy said two American troops outside the compound were among the wounded. American forces inside the complex were not harmed.
