Five troops killed in a suicide bombing this weekend at a military base in eastern Afghanistan were members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, a senior U.S. military official said Sunday.
Earlier, authorities had said only that five members of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, which includes troops from the United States and other nations, were killed in the Saturday incident.
The families of all five have been notified of the deaths, and a formal announcement from the Army is forthcoming, said the official, who declined to be identified pending the announcement.
On Saturday, a suicide bomber wearing an Afghan military uniform struck, killing the five, at a military base, Forward Operating Base Gamberi, in eastern Afghanistan's Laghman Province. The attack came during a meeting between Afghan soldiers and their ISAF mentors.
Four Afghan National Army troops were also killed and eight others, including four translators, were wounded, Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said in a statement. The wounded were all in good condition, Azimi said.

@Played, spoken like a true Tea Partier.
Cesar @ 10:57, Sir, you are legendary. You are the Father of the Tea Party movement. Always a pleasure to listen to you.
Well OK, I am right wing. Just don't tell the whole world. I will continue to fake as a none right-winger.
Wow, I can see why The real Cesar gets so angry , this is just sooo physco. To the FAKE cesar , why don't you be a real man and get your own name.
Hehehe Just joking. We fight for freedom and justice. MIC is the vehicle of freedom.

Are we gaining much besides a larger debt and loss of life in the middle east ?
Say we all rain on washington and demand welfare system shotdown. Everyone get 1.5mil every 10yrs. No more wars, no excuses if anyone mismanage. Now our leaders do the American people's business or we replace them. I swear congress will say no to these demands. But say let go to war in Iran, libya, Nigeria and tackle terrorists and they'll vote yes to splash trillions of taxpayers $grutche. Notre leaders, pethetic! We can agree we have a failed establishment no one is willing to change as long they rich are constantly bribing and controlling.
Hey when does this idiotic notion of "9-11 terrorists" crap gona end? There was never terrorists from anywhere attacking us. Read the 9-11 truth commission and ya gona learn it was all done from the protector and defender who wanted to spin us to get his way through to oil. So please quit buying the crap from the myth makers! Terrorists came over you'd see em killing people and destroying a lot of buildings.
Oil? Right. Gee how come gas is 4.00 a gl? This BS has been around and it never came to fruition. 0nly some wackos and their worn out crap. Get a life!
War is hell.
Jazzzz,I'll say it one more time. See my post last nite @10:44pm. This guy is seriously messing with you. He is your Lucifer(cesar/john/frank/ruffnutts etc). He spent the whole weekend as other s/n's arguing w/himself. He's a wack-job. i have nothing to gain from this. Just take it as friendly advice and be careful who you're talking to. He was also the one stirring the pot w/you & Banasy-all the 'hon' comments and the ones calling you names. He's done his best to mess with you. Pay attn and be safe. You got played.
Just listen to this dude,everybody. He knows it all whereas I don't,being the ignorant Tea Partier that I am!!!
