KHOST, Afghanistan, Feb 20 (Reuters) - An Afghan suicide bomber disguised as a doctor blew himself up and injured three U.S. soldiers during a function at a hospital in Khost on Tuesday, officials said.
Khost governor Arsala Jamal told Reuters that a U.S. soldier had seen the bomber acting suspiciously at a gathering of provincial officials and troops under NATO's command.
"The bomber wore a gown and looked suspicious," Jamal told Reuters by phone from the hospital. "An American soldier saw him, fired at him and then the bomber blew up his explosives in which three American soldiers were wounded."
He had no more details.
