3 Nato soldiers killed in Afghan bomb blast
Afp, Kabul
A blast ripped through a Nato convoy in eastern Afghanistan yesterday, killing three troops in an attack claimed by the Taliban, as a policeman died in a suicide bombing similar to scores by the extremist group. The deaths took to five the number of International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) soldiers killed since the weekend in a series of engagements -- some of them the most intense in weeks -- that have left nearly 140 rebels dead. The soldiers were on patrol in the mountainous eastern province of Nuristan, bordering Pakistan, when a roadside bomb struck their vehicle, Isaf said in a statement. Two soldiers were killed and two wounded, one of whom died later.
