Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Kabul Bombing
2014-11-25
[AnNahar] Two U.S. Army soldiers were killed on Monday when their vehicle was struck by a homemade bomb in the Afghan capital Kabul, defense officials said.

One of the troops was a non-commissioned officer and the second was an enlisted soldier, two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Agence La Belle France-Presse.

There were also civilian casualties in the assault but there were no further details available.

The bombing came after Death Eaters staged a horrific suicide kaboom on Sunday in the eastern province of Paktika

troops, including more than 9,000 Americans, to remain in the country next year.

More than 2,200 American troops have been killed in the 13-year-old war, according to the Pentagon.

U.S. casualties have dramatically declined over the past two years as Afghan forces have taken over combat duties. But the Afghan army and police have suffered a heavy corpse count, with 4,634 troops killed so far this year, and 4,350 in 2013.

U.S. commanders have called the Afghan casualty toll "unsustainable."
