| Two British soldiers from the NATO-led force in Afghanistan have been killed in an explosion in the violent south of the country, Britain’s Ministry of Defence said on Monday. “The soldiers were conducting a patrol in the vicinity of Kajaki, Helmand province, on Sunday when the vehicle they were travelling in was caught in an explosion,” the British Defence Ministry said in a statement. A statement from the NATO-led force said the soldiers were taken to a British base in Helmand after the attack. In a separate attack on Monday, a roadside bomb killed three private security guards working for a road construction company in Kandahar province, which is also in the south, said provincial government official Niaz Muhammad Sarhadi. |
