Two coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan



A US-led coalition soldier has been killed in combat in southern Afghanistan, Nato said today.

The soldier was killed late on Saturday in southern Zabul province, where he was embedded as a trainer with the Afghan army, a Nato statement said. It gave no further details.

A second coalition soldier died during the Nato-led Operation Medusa in Kandahar’s southern Panjwayi district, the statement said.

It added that the dead soldier had earlier been mistakenly identified as a Nato soldier – the sixth foreign soldier to die in the anti-Taliban operation that began on September 2.

Nato says more than 420 militants have died in the fighting.

The statement did not give the soldiers’ nationalities. Most of the 20,000 troops in the coalition are American.
