KABUL, Afghanistan - A bomb killed a U.S. service member and wounded four when it exploded near their armored vehicle in eastern Afghanistan, the military said on Saturday.

The blast occurred Friday in Paktika province near the border with Pakistan. The wounded were rushed to nearby bases for treatment. One was in critical condition, one in stable condition and two have returned to duty, a military statement said.

It said the troops were providing security ahead of landmark legislative elections next month, which Taliban rebels have vowed to subvert.
