By ReutersKHOST, Afghanistan -- A suicide bomber killed three people in an attack on a U.S. base in Afghanistan  on Wednesday, the same base that is believed to be used by the CIA and which a  suicide bomber attacked three years ago killing seven CIA employees.

The  Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in the eastern town of  Khost, saying they had sent a suicide bomber driving a van packed with  explosives to the base.

"The target was those who serve Americans at  that base," said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.


Follow @NBCNewsWorld  Afghanistan's  NATO-led force said the bomber did not get into the base nor breach its  perimeter. Police said the three dead were Afghans who were outside the base,  which is beside a military airport.
