NATO says eight US soldiers killed in bomb attacks

KABUL, Oct 27, 2009 (AFP) - Eight American soldiers and an Afghan civilian were killed Tuesday in bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, NATO said.

The deaths occurred in what a statement referred to as "multiple complex IED attacks", referring to improvised explosive devices that have become the scourge of troops fighting a resurgent Taliban.


"Additionally, several service members were wounded in these incidents and were transported to a regional medical facility for treatment," the statement from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), under NATO, said.
