Insurgents have attacked Nato forces in eastern Afghanistan.

Several attackers were killed in the Taliban attack on a base at an airfield outside Jalalabad, near the border with Pakistan.

Gunmen set off a car bomb and fired rocket-propelled grenades, and wounding two soldiers, Nato said.

The attack came a day after US Gen David Petraeus warned of an “industrial strength insurgency” in the country.
