Three troops from the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan Saturday, officials said. ISAF did not say which country the dead troops were from or give further details in line with policy. There are around 140,000 international troops in Afghanistan fighting a Taliban-led insurgency, 100,000 of them from the United States.
"Three International Security Assistance Force members died following an improvised explosive device attack in eastern Afghanistan today," an ISAF spokesman said.
