Two foreign soldiers killed in Afghanistan: NATO Thursday, July 8, 2010, 5:10 am ET KABUL (AFP) – Two NATO soldiers were killed Thursday in separate insurgent attacks in southern and eastern Afghanistan, the military alliance said, amid a surge in troop deaths in recent months. NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) did not give details but an official working for the US military in the eastern province of Kunar told AFP that a US soldier had died in a militant rocket attack on a base. The soldier was killed when a rocket fired by Taliban-linked insurgents landed in the American outpost in the province's Asmar district, a restive region on the Pakistani border, the official said. The other casualty was caused by an improvised bomb attack in southern Afghanistan, an ISAF statement said. The new deaths took to 341 the number of foreign troops killed in Afghanistan this year so far. June accounted for 102 of the deaths, making it the deadliest month for the force since its deployment in 2001.
