Kabul: Eight NATO soldiers have been killed
in a series of bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, the
military said on Friday.
Three died yesterday, another lost his life in a blast
today and four more were killed in second attack later in the
day.
NATO's US-led International Security Assistance Force did
not release the nationalities of the soldiers, in keeping with
policy.
Details would be released by the soldiers' home
countries, a spokesman said.
More than 560 foreign troops were killed last year in
Afghanistan, where some 130,000 US-led troops are fighting an
insurgency by hardline Taliban Islamists against the
Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai.
