France&#8217;s Defense Ministry said a lieutenant and corporal from the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment were killed in a gunbattle in the Bedraou Valley in the eastern province of Kapisa.<br \/>Three other French troops were wounded, it said. Monday&#8217;s deaths bring the number of French troops killed in the Afghan war to 47. The French contingent to the Nato-led international force numbers about 4,000.<br \/>No additional information was given about the American casualties. Hungary&#8217;s Defense Ministry said its soldier was killed after his convoy was hit by a blast and then strafed by gunfire from all sides.<br \/>The attack occurred 12 miles (20 kilometers) northwest of the town of Pul-e Khumri in the northern province of Baghlan.<br \/>Three other soldiers were wounded and the convoy managed to return to its base in the province, where Hungary administers development projects, it said.<br \/>The deaths bring the number of foreign forces killed in Afghanistan this month to 47, including 30 Americans, according to a count by The Associated Press.<br \/>They come amid a particularly bloody period for international troops, with 66 Americans killed in July, the deadliest month for the US in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion that overthrew the Taliban government.<br \/>Monday&#8217;s casualties follow the deaths Sunday of four US troops amid fierce fighting in eastern and southern Afghanistan.<br \/>Combat has intensified around the country amid an increase in the number of foreign forces battling the stubborn Taliban insurgency to about 120,000, including more than 78,000 Americans.<br \/>Foreign troops are increasingly skirmishing in the vast south and mountainous east, where insurgents have long held sway.<br \/>Militants also are attacking coalition forces in parts of the north and west where they were not previously active. <\/p>\n<p>Source: AP<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABUL: Attacks by insurgents killed five foreign troops in Afghanistan on Monday, including two Americans, two French marines and a Hungarian soldier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c59-islamic-world"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
