U.S. CHOPPER SHOT DOWN IN AFGHANISTAN: 4 AMERICANS DEAD


Copter shot down in Afghanistan; 4 Americans dead

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Insurgents shot down a NATO helicopter and killed four American troops in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, the military said, in the latest bloodshed ahead of a major operation in the militants' heartland.

The violence came as Afghanistan's ousted intelligence chief warned in an interview with The Associated Press that Afghan President Hamid Karzai's strategy of seeking reconciliation with the Taliban was dangerously flawed.

The deaths, and that of a British soldier killed by an improvised bomb in a separate attack Wednesday, take NATO's toll to 29 deaths in nine days, according to an AP count. The United States, whose some 94,000 troops vastly outnumber the rest of the allies' contributions in Afghanistan, has lost 17 service members since Sunday.

BOMB KILLS 2 US TROOPS; NATO LOSSES AT 24 FOR JUNE


Bomb kills 2 US troops; NATO losses at 24 for June

By ROHAN SULLIVAN

updated 8:07 a.m. CT, Tues., June 8, 2010

KABUL, Afghanistan - Three more NATO troops were killed in Afghanistan on Tuesday, the military said, extending a spike of bloodshed into a second day and pushing the death toll for foreign forces in the country to 24 in little more than a week.

The latest deaths, including at least two Americans, came as insurgents step up bombings and other attacks ahead of a major NATO operation in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar that Washington hopes will turn the tide of the nearly 9-year-old war.

Monday was the bloodiest day this year for international forces in Afghanistan, when seven American troops, two Australians and a French Legionnaire were killed in five separate insurgent attacks in the south and east of the country. Two civilian contractors training police, an American and a Nepalese, also died in a brazen suicide attack Monday in the southern city of Kandahar.

NATO said two service members were killed Tuesday in a makeshift bomb blast in southern Afghanistan, and the U.S. military confirmed they were Americans.

NATO said later that another service member was killed Tuesday in small arms fire in southern Afghanistan. No further details were given.


7 U.S. TROOPS, 2 AUSTRALIANS AND A FRENCH LEGIONNAIRE KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN BLOODBATH

KABUL, Afghanistan — Seven American troops, two Australians and a French Legionnaire were killed in the bloodiest day this year for international forces in Afghanistan. A U.S. contractor training Afghan police also died in a brazen suicide attack.

The bloodshed Monday came as insurgents step up bombings and other attacks ahead of a major NATO operation in the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar that Washington hopes will turn the tide of the nearly nine-year-old war.

Half the NATO deaths - five Americans - occurred in a single blast in eastern Afghanistan, U.S. spokesman Col. Wayne Shanks said without giving further details. It was a grim reminder the insurgents can strike throughout the country - not simply in the south, which has become the main focus of the U.S. campaign.


Two other U.S. troops were killed in separate attacks in the south - one in a bombing and the other by small arms fire.

The three were identified as Sgt. Brandon C. Bury, 26, of Kingwood, Texas; Lance Cpl. Derek Hernandez, 20, of Edinburg, Texas; and Cpl. Donald M. Marler, 22, of St. Louis, Mo. No details about the deaths were released.

10 NATO SOLDIERS KILLED IN A SINGLE DAY IN AFGHANISTAN


KABUL (AFP) – Ten NATO soldiers including at least one American were killed in a string of attacks in Afghanistan on Monday, one of the heaviest tolls suffered by the alliance in a single day.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100607/wl_sthasia_afp/afghanistanunrest_20100607185734
Of the total toll, confirmed to AFP by an alliance spokesman, five soldiers were killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) in eastern Afghanistan, one as a result of gunfire also in the east and another by an IED in the south.

Earlier in the day the alliance announced the deaths of two other soldiers in a bomb attack and of one American soldier in a shooting.

Separately, two foreign contractors, one of them an American, were killed Monday in a suicide attack on an Afghan police training centre in the southern city of Kandahar, the US embassy said.

The Afghanistan war has been going on for 104 months which makes it longer than the Vietnam War.
