The Taliban say six suicide bombers killed dozens of Afghan and foreign forces in the brazen daylight attack.But NATO spokesman Brigadier General Josef Blotz refutes that claim."In this incident several insurgents were killed and I can tell you that the security perimeter was not breached and the insurgents were being stopped by Afghan and ISAF forces very effectively," Blotz said.The attack appeared planned and coordinated, much like a Taliban assault last May on the Bagram air base, NATO's biggest in Afghanistan.
