KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide car bombing tore through a U.S. convoy during rush hour in the Afghan capital on Thursday, killing at least 15 people, including six U.S. military advisers and two children, officials said.
U.S. soldiers rushed to the scene to help, including some wearing only T-shirts or shorts under their body armor.
