Roadside Blast in Afghanistan 2 NATO killed
Sunday, July 5, 2009 at 5:31 pm
KABUL: A roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan killed two NATO soldiers, while gunmen in the east abducted 16 mine-clearing personnel working for the United Nations, officials said Sunday.
The blast that killed the troops came as thousands of U.S. Marines pour into the Taliban’s southern heartland, in the biggest U.S. military offensive operation in Afghanistan since the toppling of the militants in 2001.
NATO did not identify the dead or the exact location of the Saturday blast. It wasn’t clear if they were involved in the Marine operation in Helmand province.
