Two foreign soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan on Saturday, Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said. "Two ISAF service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan today," the military alliance said in a short statement, without giving further details.
IED attacks - homemade bombs - account for the majority of military casualties in Afghanistan, where foreign troops have been fighting a nearly nine-year battle with Taliban militants. The latest deaths takes to 164 the number of foreign troops killed so far in 2010, according to an AFP toll based on the independent icasualties.org website, which tracks coalition deaths.
