Two US-led soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Two US-led soldiers have been killed in an attack in Afghanistan, bringing the number of foreign forces killed in the Afghan war in 2011 more than 20.
According to a Press TV correspondent, one of the soldiers was killed in the north on Thursday and another one lost his life in the south on Wednesday, the International Security Assistance Force, ISAF, announced without giving further details.

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are by far the most lethal weapon used by Taliban militants.
The militants have used IEDs in their attacks against foreign troops, Afghan forces, and civilians.
2010 was the deadliest year for foreign military forces deployed in war-ravaged Afghanistan, with a death toll of 711, most of them Americans.
Hundreds of civilians have also lost their lives in US-led airstrikes and ground operations in various parts of Afghanistan over the past few months.
The large number of civilian fatalities has caused widespread anger among the Afghans.
The situation is adding fuel to the fire of anti-US sentiment in war-wrecked Afghanistan and the rest of the Islamic world.
