Wall Street Journal February 2, 2010 NATO Troops Killed in Afghan Attacks By HABIB ZAHORI KABUL: Four NATO soldiers, including one American, were killed in separate attacks in southern and eastern Afghanistan Monday, three of them the victims of improvised bombs that have been taking a heavy toll on coalition troops. The deaths made Monday the deadliest day for the NATO forces in the last two and half weeks. Two British soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb attack near Malgir, in the southern province of Helmand, the British ministry of Defense said. Another bomb in the western provincial city of Qala-e-naw killed a Spanish soldier whose vehicle was escorting a United Nations World Food Program relief convoy. The U.S. soldier, killed in a southern province, died in a firefight, said the North Atlantic Treaty Organization command. NATO doesn't release the identity of casualties until next of kin have been notified. At least 51 NATO service personnel, including 31 Americans, have been killed so far this year, according to Icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks the casualties of the coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Most of these solders have been killed by improvised explosive devices, known as IEDs, which have become the insurgents' weapon of choice in their fight against the NATO forces in Afghanistan. Fighting is expected to intensify in the coming months, as the U.S. and its allies rush 37,000 fresh troops into Afghanistan. Most will be deployed in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand. .... =========================== 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. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
