At least six NATO soldiers were killed across Afghanistan today in five separate attacks, one of the deadliest incidents in recent weeks. The deaths bring the overall toll for February to 34 killed, an increase from the 32 killed in January.
So far the nationalities of the slain were not released, except for one who was reported to be an Italian soldier. The soldier was killed by an IED in Herat Province, and four other Italian soldiers were “seriously injured” in the incident.
Four others were killed in Eastern Afghanistan, three in a pair of roadside bombings and a fourth in an insurgent attack. The fifth soldier was killed in southern Afghanistan, though officials did not indicate how.
The attacks come amid reports that the US and other NATO member nations have been bribing the Taliban in an attempt to lower the number of attacks. Though the death toll is down somewhat from 2010 so far this year, officials are predicting an overall increase.
The "Nato" soldier reported killed in southern Afghanistan in this article was identified today, Feb. 25,
by the Dept. of Defense. He was Army Spc. Andrew C. Wilfahrt, 31, of Rosemont, MN. He was killed in Kandahar by an IED attack.
"Best defense? Not be there." -Mr. Miyagi
How long the soldiers and civilians will be killed.
G.B.Shaw in his novel arms and the man, says in one place instead of bullets choklate and termed as chocklate creme soldier.
This is truth save your and others life is important than the lies which ther allies made for unjust war.
A war is always unjust, to kill and to be killed is biggest crime against humanity but the west will never learn and blame game will continue.
6 more gone, about 120,000 to go. Next time they should also mention how many people everyone of those mercs killed keeping in mind that all Afghanis are innocents including the Taliban. They never did anything to NATO or the US either.
Mercs? Those are NATO "soldiers", not mercs. Mercs do there deeds for money. Soldiers do their job because they're following orders that they must obey or be severely punished or even sentenced to death.
What kind of a person are you?
I don't know if you're American or not, but apparently you don't remember that the Taliban was hiding and protecting Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. You must have a poor memory.
I'm not an anti-war activist, although I do want the US out of Iraq(a war that wasn't justified) and Afghanistan.(mission failed, get out) However, I'm also a veteran, and I find your statement to be crude and indefensible. Obviously, you're made of the same "material" as those in the 60's and 70's that didn't understand the the troops were only doing what they had to do in following orders. Most of them didn't want to be there anymore than the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obviously, you were never in the military and have no understanding of being a man of responsibility, and by your comments, you show yourself to be no more than a little boy.
Glad we've got the bad guys on the run!
