The Defense Department released on Tuesday the names of the three U.S. Marines who were killed in action by a car bomb attack on a convoy in Afghanistan on Monday near Bagram Air Base, a major part of U.S. operations in that country. The Taliban took credit for the attack, even as the U.S. holds talks with the Taliban in Qatar.

The Marines who lost their lives were: Cpl. Robert Hendriks, 25, from Locust Valley, N.Y.; Sgt. Benjamin Hines, 31, from York, Pa.; and Staff Sgt. Christopher Slutman, 43, from Newark, Del.
