Kabul: NATO says two of its service members
have been killed in an insurgent attack in southern
Afghanistan.
NATO did not provide any further details in its today's
statement. It says the attack occurred yesterday.
Their deaths bring October's toll of foreign troops
killed to six, with a total of 460 deaths so far this year.
Afghan police say eight insurgents and a police officer
have been killed in a separate incident in southwestern Nimroz
province.
Nimroz provincial police chief Gen Abdul Jabar Perdali
said the gun-battle took place yesterday, and that it lasted
five hours.
