 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Militants attacked a U.S. patrol with rocket-propelled grenades, killing three Americans in Afghanistan's wild northeast, an official said Saturday.
U.S. troops used artillery to repel the attack in Nuristan province Friday, said Col. Tom Collins.
The clash in Nuristan province's Waygal district on Friday also wounded three U.S. soldiers and one civilian as American forces kept up their hunt for Taliban fighters and extremists close to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network that are holed up in remote mountains hugging the Pakistani border.
