Agence France-Presse February 1, 2010 Afghan violence kills three US, Nato soldiers KABUL: Bomb attacks and a firefight killed three foreign soldiers, one of them identified as an American, in separate incidents in war-torn Afghanistan on Monday, Nato said. Two of the soldiers, including the American, were killed by improvised bombs, which have become a major asset in the arsenal of Taliban-led insurgents, Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said. ISAF did not disclose the nationalities of the two other casualties, who it said were killed in separate incidents in southern and western Afghanistan. Two brief statements from ISAF announced the soldiers' deaths, but gave no specific details of where the incidents had taken place. “An ISAF service member from the United States was killed today in an IED strike in southern Afghanistan,” the force said earlier Monday. The deaths mark a grisly start to the month and bring to 47 the total number of foreign soldiers to die in Afghanistan so far this year, according to an AFP tally. Last month's death toll of 44 was the highest for the month of January since the Taliban regime was overthrown in a US-led invasion in late 2001. It compared with 25 for January 2009. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ==============================
