Two Nato troops killed

KABUL (AFP) A bomb attack killed two NATO soldiers in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, the military said. The deaths took to 189 the number of international forces killed in Afghanistan this year so far. In keeping with policy, the NATO-run International Security Assistance Force did not disclose the nationality of the latest fatalities. Meanwhile, a French military spokesman told AFP that four French soldiers were wounded at the weekend when their armoured vehicle hit a landmine near their base northeast of Afghan capital Kabul. One of the soldiers who was more gravely injured is being brought back to France, Admiral Christophe Prazuck, said late Monday. Three others were treated at a hospital at Kabul airport. Prazuck said the attack occurred near the French military camp at Tagab.
