NATO LOSES 10 TROOPS IN DEADLY AFGHANISTAN DAY

Baku, June 8 (AZERTAC). Ten Nato soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan in the deadliest day in months for the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf). In the worst of several attacks, five US soldiers died in an improvised bomb blast in east Afghanistan. Five other Nato troops were killed in a spate of attacks across the country`s restive South and East, where Isaf is battling the Taliban. Nato troops first fought in Afghanistan shortly after the September 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
