Enemy forces have conducted an attack on the U.S. Consulate in western Afghanistan, Fox News confirms. Officials said that militants staged a suicide car bombing then engaged in a gunfight with security forces near the American consulate in the western Afghan city of Herat early Friday. The Associated Press reported that an Afghan translator was killed, while several other people, including police, were wounded. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which underscored the perilous security situation in Afghanistan, where U.S.-led troops are reducing their presence ahead of a full withdrawal planned for next year.
