Two more US soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Two US soldiers are killed in an improvised bomb explosion in southern Afghanistan, bringing the total number of Americans killed in the country this year to at least 24.

“Two ISAF service members from the United States were killed today in an IED (improvised explosive device) strike in southern Afghanistan,” the NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said in a statement on Sunday.

The exact location of the incident is not disclosed.

US military deaths in Afghanistan doubled in 2009, compared to the previous year.

The majority of foreign troop deaths are caused by improvised roadside bombs.
