About two dozen Taliban militants -- at least some dressed in US military uniforms -- have been killed in a failed attempt to storm two US-run bases in a city in eastern Afghanistan. The attackers targeted US-run Forward Operating Bases (FOB) Salerno and Chapman on Saturday, NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement. Amid a spike in military deaths, the brazen attacks underscored the threats faced by foreign forces in Afghanistan as the insurgency drags towards its tenth year.
