PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS CONVERTED 4:3 MATERIAL

The victims of the latest suicide bombing in Afghanistan arrive at hospital.

At least three people died in the attack on a U.S. base in Khost.

Police said the dead were Afghans who were outside the base at the time.

The Afghan Taliban said it carried out the attack.

Witnesses said it was a loud explosion.

SOUNDBITE: ANWARULLAH KHAN , KHOST RESIDENT, SAYING (Pashto):

"There was a big ban and some people were wounded, I don't know the exact number, but it was really powerful."

Afghanistan's NATO-led force said the bomber didn't get inside the base.

It's thought to be the same site where seven CIA employees were killed in a bomb attack three years ago.
