Three Nato troops killed in Afghanistan

Three Nato troops two from Estonia and one from the United States _ were killed in attacks in southern Afghanistan as fraud charges continued to pour in Monday from last week's turbulent presidential vote. The American service member died in an insurgent attack Sunday, the US military said without providing details. Estonia's Defence Ministry said two soldiers were killed after their unit stumbled on a roadside bomb in southern Helmand province.
It was the 37th death for the US military in Afghanistan since the beginning of August, a month that has seen a jump in attacks and violence as the country prepared for its second-ever direct presidential election last week. Though millions of Afghans went to the polls, turnout was dampened by Taliban threats leading up to the balloting. Those who voted did so amid rocket attacks in the south, a gunbattle in the capital, and fighting that trapped people inside stations in the east.
