Four American service members were killed in a mortar attack on Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan on Tuesday, a senior defense official confirmed to NBC News.
The four International Security Assistance Force service members died after an indirect fire attack in eastern Afghanistan, the ISAF said in a statement.

The attack came just hours after the White House announced that the U.S. will soon meet with Taliban representatives (http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/18/19021979-us-taliban-to-meet-in-qatar-for-key-milestone-toward-ending-afghanistan-war?lite) for the first time to negotiate a peaceful settlement to end the war in Afghanistan.
