一名自杀炸弹杀手在阿富汗东部袭击了阿富汗和北约联军的联合巡逻队，炸死至少14人。
A suicide bomber has attacked a joint Afghan-NATO patrol in eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 14 people.
北约说，星期一袭击中的丧生者包括三名联军军人和他们的翻译，但是没有公布丧生军人的国籍，也没有提供炸弹袭击的详细情况。
NATO says the deaths Monday include three coalition service members and their interpreter. It did not identify the nationalities of the soldier or provide further details on the attack.
当地官员说，炸弹袭击者在霍斯特的一个市场附近骑着摩托车冲入巡逻队伍，并说袭击造成6名平民和四名警察丧生。
Local officials say the bomber rammed a motorcycle into the patrol near a market in the city of Khost. They say the attack also killed six civilians and four police officers.
塔利班说，它为袭击事件负责。
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing.
与此同时，北约和阿富汗官员正在针对星期六导致两名美国人和三名阿富汗人丧生的枪战进行调查。双方对所发生的事件有不同说法。数天前，美国领导的联军刚刚放松了对与阿富汗军队进行联合行动的限制。
Meanwhile, NATO and Afghan officials are investigating a gunbattle Saturday that killed two Americans and three Afghan soldiers. The two sides have given conflicting accounts of that incident, which came days after U.S.-led coalition forces eased restrictions on joint operations with their Afghan allies.
