		</div><p>Six American troops have been killed in a suicide attack near Bagram airfield in Afghanistan, US officials said.</p>
<p>Two others were wounded along with an Afghan when an attacker rammed an explosives-laden motorcycle into their patrol in a village near the airfield.</p>
<p>The Taliban has claimed responsibility.</p>
<p>The attack comes days after US defence secretary Ash Carter stopped in Bagram.</p>
<p>A recent Pentagon report said violence in Afghanistan has increased.</p>
<p>US Army Brigadier General William Shoffner, head of public affairs at Nato&#8217;s Resolute Support base in the Afghan capital Kabul, said: &#8220;Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of those affected in this tragic incident, especially during this holiday season.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was the deadliest attack on foreign troops in four months. On August 22, three American contractors with the RS base were killed in a suicide attack in Kabul.</p>
<p>On August 7 and 8, Kabul was the scene of three insurgent attacks within 24 hours that left at least 35 people dead.</p>
<p>One of the attacks, on a US special forces base outside Kabul, killed one US soldier and eight Afghan civilian contractors.</p>
