A US occupation soldier was killed fighting militants in southern Afghanistan Tuesday, NATO said, a day after they killed a senior government official in the country's north.
NATO's US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) gave no further details of the incident, but confirmed the soldier was American. According to an AFP tally based on independent website icasualties.org, the last death brings to 502 the number of international soldiers killed in the war so far this year, compared with 521 in the whole 2009.
The militants ambushed an Afghan district governor in a troubled northern town overnight, killing the official and his driver, police said. Ahmad Seroor, the chief administrator for Nahrin district in Baghlan province, was travelling through the district of Baghlan-i-Markazi when he was attacked, police said.
