Two Nato soldiers were killed in an insurgent suicide bombing and gun battle in eastern Afghanistan Wednesday, officials said. The suicide attack was followed by small arms and rocket fire near Puli Alam, the capital town of Logar province which is less than 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the capital Kabul, Afghan and Nato officials said.
"There was an insurgent attack on coalition forces in east Afghanistan in which two service members were killed," a spokesman for Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) told.
