Another NATO-led soldier has been killed after coming under fire from insurgents in eastern Afghanistan.
The alliance's International Security Assistance Force did not give the nationality of its latest casualty, but most soldiers in eastern Afghanistan are US nationals. A statement said only that the trooper was killed on Wednesday "during a small-arms fire attack by insurgents". Four other foreign soldiers were killed in eastern Afghanistan on Wednesday in a bomb blast. At least 211 international soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan this year alone, most of them in insurgent attacks.
