KABUL, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber killed four NATO service members, 10 civilians and two police officers at a medical clinic in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, officials said. The attack took place amid deteriorating security as most soldiers from International Security Assistance Force — the NATO-run international force — prepare to leave the country after 12 years of war against the Taliban.

The attacker struck as the service members visited a clinic Western forces had helped build near Bagram military base, according to Waheed Seddiqi, a spokesman for the Parwan provincial government.
