Three NATO Troops Killed in Afghanistan

   VOA News 30 July 2010

   Three   foreign   soldiers  have  died  in  two  separate  attacks  in
   Afghanistan.
   A  NATO  statement  released  Friday  says  all  three  soldiers  died
   Thursday,  as  a  result of improvised explosive device attacks in the
   southern part of the country.
   The statement did not give the nationalities of the soldiers. Â
   However,  the  Associated Press says all three victims were Americans,
   raising  the  death toll for U.S. forces to 63 for July, the deadliest
   month yet in Afghanistan.
   On  Thursday, U.S. and Afghan officials announced the body of a second
   U.S.  Navy  sailor  who  disappeared  in  eastern Afghanistan had been
   recovered.
   The  two  sailors were reported missing July 23, after they entered an
   area of Logar province known to be an insurgent stronghold.  The body
   of the other sailor was recovered Sunday.

   Some information for this report was provided by AFP and AP.
