JALALABAD, Afghanistan, May 29 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) office in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad on Wednesday, and two more insurgents entered the building, local officials told Reuters.

Afghan security forces were fighting the attackers inside the ICRC building, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, spokesman for the governor of Nangarhar province. (Editing by Louise Ireland)
