US-led solider killed in east Afghanistan attack

A US-led soldier has been killed in an attack in eastern Afghanistan as violence gains momentum in the war-ravaged country.

The violence came after another foreign soldier serving with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was killed in a bomb attack in southern Afghanistan on Friday.

The increasing number of military casualties in Afghanistan has caused widespread anger in the US and other NATO member states, undermining public support for the prolonged war in Afghanistan.
