An Army base Bomb? Uh, the guy blew himself up, I think it is safe to say it was a Suicide Bombing!
Might as well make it sound a little less violent than what it really was.

Five foreign and five Afghan troops have died in an attack in eastern Afghanistan, officials say.
A Taliban suicide bomber wearing a military uniform hit an Afghan army base near the city of Jalalabad, the Afghan defence ministry said.
Coalition officials said five foreign troops died but gave no more details. Four Afghan soldiers and four translators were said to be injured.
The attack was one of the deadliest in months against foreign troops.
It took place shortly after 0730 (0330 GMT) when the bomber approached the gate of the military base and detonated his explosives.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing, adding that the attacker was a "sleeper agent" who had served in the army for at least one month before launching his attack.
However, Afghan officials strongly denied that suggestion, insisting that the bomber was wearing a military uniform but not a serving soldier.
Authorities will have to wait until all the pieces of the alleged suicide bomber are put back together to be 100% for sure!
