                   3 NATO Troops Killed in Afghanistan Blast

   The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan says a suicide car bomber has
   killed three of its service members in an explosion in the capital.
   The International Security Assistance Force did not identify the
   nationalities of the victims killed when the blast struck a military
   convoy Friday in Kabul.
   A local police spokesman told the Associated Press that six civilians
   were wounded in the blast.
   The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the explosion, which comes
   as President Hamid Karzai deliberates over a proposed agreement
   allowing U.S. forces to stay in the country beyond 2014.
   The president says he will not sign the deal until after elections
   scheduled for next April, and unless the United States agrees to
   various demands.
   Many Afghans concerned about security after 2014 have urged the
   president to sign the pact.
