Press TV: US-led Soldier Killed in South Afghanistan!

A militant attack has killed at least one US-led soldier in troubled southern Afghanistan, the Western military alliance, NATO, says. This is the second US-led soldier who has died today in what NATO calls a Taliban attack in Afghanistan. Nearly 500 foreign soldiers, most of them American, have been killed in Afghanistan this year. According to iCasualties, the latest deaths in Afghanistan bring the number of casualties to 2,770. The increasing number of military casualties in Afghanistan has caused widespread anger in the US and other NATO member states, under -mining public support for the Afghan war. The security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led forces in the war-torn country. The US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at a record high, has become the longest war in US history.
