The other three soldiers were killed on Thursday also in the south.<br \/>NATO has not disclosed the identities of the soldiers.<br \/>The latest deaths bring the number of slain foreign soldiers to more than 622 so far this year. The year 2010 has become the deadliest year for the US-led foreign forces since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.<br \/>As the security situation continues to deteriorate in Afghanistan, US-led forces are killed by Taliban militants on a near-daily basis.<br \/>According to official figures, more than 2,100 US-led soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country.<br \/>Figures released by Afghanistan&#8217;s Baakhtar News Agency, however, put the death toll at near 4,500.<br \/>Western public opinion is growing increasingly tired of the war and mounting casualties. The United States and NATO have more than 150,000 troops in the war-torn country.<br \/>The developments come at a time when the US and its allies have stepped up a bombing campaign in troubled southern Afghanistan.<br \/>Tens of thousands of Afghan and foreign troops have been fighting the Taliban in Kandahar Province to flush militants out of the region.<br \/>US-led foreign forces have been criticized for military operations, which have led to death and destruction in war-ravaged Afghanistan.<br \/>A human rights group says civilian casualties have spiked since operations started in Kandahar in early September.<br \/>The Afghan Rights Monitor (ARM) says the US-led campaign in Kandahar has destroyed or damaged hundreds of houses.<br \/>ARM says US-led NATO forces have used aerial bombings, hidden booby traps and mines in private homes.<br \/>According to the rights group, most of the attacks have been carried out in areas that hold about one-third of Kandahar Province&#8217;s population.<br \/>More than 100,000 Afghans have been killed since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001.<br \/>The loss of civilian lives at the hand of foreign forces has led to a dramatic increase in anti-American sentiments in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Press TV<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NATO says six of its soldiers have been killed in combat operations in Afghanistan as the death toll of US-led forces continues to climb in country.<\/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-940","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 -
