KABUL, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- Two soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed by roadside bombing Thursday in southern Afghanistan, said a statement released here by the alliance.
"Two ISAF soldiers were killed in an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) strike during the afternoon of Dec. 4 in southern Afghanistan," it said.
However, it did not specify any further information, adding "it is ISAF policy not to release the nationality of any casualty prior to the relevant national authority doing so."
Foreign troops, mostly from Britain and Canada, have been deployed in the volatile southern region of Afghanistan for fighting against militants activities and helping with reconstruction there.
Spiraling conflicts and Taliban-linked insurgency have claimed more than 5,000 people, mostly militants, so far this year in strife-torn Afghanistan.
