KABUL, Afghanistan - Two NATO soldiers died battling militants
in southern Afghanistan Wednesday, while U.S.-led and Afghan
troops backed by airstrikes killed two militants and detained
nine others, officials said.

The two soldiers from NATO's International Security Assistance
force died in "separate engagements with enemy fighters," an
ISAF statement said. ISAF did not release other details such
as the soldiers' nationalities or where the combat took place.

In the central province of Uruzgan, militants attacked U.S.-led
troops and Afghan forces in the Khas Uruzgan district on Tuesday,
a statement from the U.S.-led coalition said.

The guerrillas retreated into a compound that was later bombed
by coalition aircraft, the statement said.
