NATO
SOLDIER KILLS IN ATTACK
IN EASTERN AFGHANISTAN
KABUL: NATO
says an attack in eastern Afghanistan has killed one of its service members. A statement
from the U.S.-led coalition says the soldier died after coming under direct
fire by enemy forces on Monday.
The
coalition, known as the International Security Assistance Force, provided no
other details or the nationality of the killed soldier.
Afghan
insurgents have increased attacks in recent months, intensifying a campaign to
regain territory as foreign forces draw down ahead of a full withdrawal at the
end of 2014.
Monday´s
death brings to eight the number of coalition deaths so far this month. Last
Tuesday, six U.S. soldiers died when their Black Hawk UH-60 went down during a
mission in Zabul, southern Afghanistan.
