At least 12 U.S. service members were killed in a pair of suicide attacks outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, including 11 Marines and one Navy medic, two U.S. officials told the Associated Press.

He was worried, he said, that asking a brown-skinned man why he was hanging around the arena might be construed as racist.
