Suicide Bomber attacks afgan base

A suicide bomber tried Monday to breach an outer gate of the giant U.S run installation north of Afghanistans capital.The attack killed two Afghan laborers who were leaving the base, the provincial governor said.The Taliban claimed responsibility in a text message sent to journalists, but the claim could not be immediately verified. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for a number of violent incidents that took place as riots rocked the country last month over what U.S. officials have called the supposed burning of copies of the Muslim holy book quran in  Bagram. Although the rioting ended nearly a week ago the effects are still being felt.
