2 US-led troopers killed in Afghanistan

“Two International Security Assistance Force service members died following an insurgent attack in western Afghanistan today,” International Security Assistance Force said in a statement on Sunday.

Further details regarding the soldiers’ identities or the exact location of the incident have not yet been released.

On Saturday, two US-led soldiers were killed in eastern Afghanistan, while a third one was killed in the north.

Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led forces in the country.

The high number of military casualties in Afghanistan has intensified opposition in the United States and other NATO members against the protracted war in the country.

A total of 566 US-led forces died in Afghanistan in 2011. However, 2010 remains the deadliest year on record for foreign military casualties, with a death toll of 711.
