In Afghanistan, three U.S. military members and one U.S. contractor died Monday after a roadside bomb went off near Bagram Air Base outside the capital Kabul. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack. The deaths come amid ongoing peace talks between the U.S. and Taliban officials and after a rash of attacks around the country in recent days killed dozens of Afghan security forces and military members. At least 32 military personnel were killed after Taliban fighters attacked an army base in western Badghis province last week, according to Afghan officials.
