Afghanistan: Bomb kills four coalition troops 21/06/2008 - 08:49:30
Four coalition troops have been killed by a bomb in southern Afghanistan, officials said today.
A coalition statement said two more soldiers were seriously wounded when the bomb went off today as they conducted operations in the southern province of Kandahar.
The coalition did not release the nationalities of the victims.
Afghanistan is seeing a resurgence of violence even as the US and Nato have poured thousands of new troops into the country.
Last year, more than 8,000 people were killed in insurgency-related attacks in Afghanistan – the most since the 2001 invasion – and violence has claimed more than 1,500 lives this year.
