Three Afghans and soldiers killed in attacks | AFP
Taliban attacks including a suicide car bomb killed three international soldiers and as many Afghans in the troubled country’s south, the alliance and Afghan authorities said Thursday.
The NATO-led soldiers were killed in separate attacks — two in homemade bomb explosions and the third in a firefight with insurgents, NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in separate statements.
The latest deaths bring to 544 the number of foreign soldiers to die in the Afghan war so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on that kept by the icasualties.org website. The 2009 toll was 521.
