2 ISAF soldiers killed in east

KABUL, the alliance said on Monday.

The two soldiers were killed on Sunday following an improvised explosive device (IED) attack in eastern Afghanistan, the NATO-led troops said in a brief statement.

In line with its policy, ISAF neither revealed the nationality of the fallen soldiers nor the exact location of the blast. Mostly US soldiers are stationed at the eastern provinces to fight terrorism.

Since the start of 2012, 120 international soldiers, including 79 US troops, were killed in Afghanistan. Last year, 665 multinational soldiers were killed in the country.
