US Soldier Killed in Afghanistan
Source: AFP

KABUL — A US soldier was killed in a bomb attack in western Afghanistan, the NATO-led force said Thursday, adding to a soaring foreign military death toll in the fight against the Taliban.

The soldier from the International Security Assistance Force was killed on Wednesday, ISAF said in a statement.

The soldier died when a patrol struck a roadside bomb after troops "engaged" insurgents who were spotted planting bombs in an operation "successfully neutralising their activity," it added.

The independent icasualties.org website says 76 were killed in July, 10 so far this month and 242 so far this year, most of them in hostile incidents.
