Bomb attacks in Afghanistan have killed 16 people in two separate attacks in the country's eastern provinces, officials say.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Friday on a convoy carrying US troops near a military base not far from Jalalabad airport. The explosion killed four Afghan civilians.
In a separate incident also on Friday, 12 people were killed in Ghazni province when the minivan they were travelling on was hit by a roadside bomb.
No US soldiers were hurt in the bombing near Jalalabad, security officials told the Associated Press news agency.
The attack happened outside the gates of the base, as a convoy was returning from a patrol, according to an official at the base who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to media.
