At least two US soldiers have been killed in a rocket attack on the main US air base at Bagram outside the Afghan capital Kabul.

Six US military personnel were also wounded after several rockets were fired at the base early on Sunday.

No group has claimed the responsibility of the attack on Bagram air base, which is the main base for the US-led coalition force in Afghanistan and houses over 10,000 troops.

The attack however came shortly after a US journalist, who escaped Taliban custody in Pakistan after seven months of captivity, arrived at the base.

The New York Times reporter David Rohde and an Afghan journalist were kidnapped in Afghanistan but they were being held in Pakistan's North Waziristan region.
