US Soldiers Killed In Blast

Rescuers Attempt to Find Blast Survivors

A huge explosion killed 6 US soldiers in Southern Afghanistan this morning. The blast happened in Sangsar village in Helmland.
The explosion blasted a large hole in the thick wall, causing the roof to collapse on soldiers inside. Other soldiers quickly arrived and clawed and pulled at the waist-deep rubble to free the buried troops.
The building had been occupied by American and Afghan troops for only a few days, an American official said, and was beside a narrow road. It was not immediately clear how the vehicle managed to approach as closely as it did without being challenged or stopped
