ADVERTISEMENT The three US troops were part of a patrol in eastern Afghanistan that was struck by a homemade bomb and then ambushed with gunfire, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement. "The patrol responded to the attack but three service members died in the engagement," it said in a statement. ISAF, made up of around 64,000 troops from 40 nations, does not release the nationalities of its casualties but the US military in Kabul said the three were from its ranks. Two other ISAF troops were killed when two bomb blasts struck their patrol in the south on Saturday, the alliance announced separately. They were not US nationals, the US military said, without being able to identify them. The soldiers were killed the same day one French and three US soldiers in separate attacks already announced by ISAF. "Yesterday was a very tough day for ISAF as we lost more brave soldiers who were striving to provide security to the Afghan population," the force said in a statement. Seventy-five international troops were killed last month, most of them in attacks, according to the independent www.icasualties.org website, making July the deadliest month for troops since the US led invasion in 2001. There are more than 100,000 international troops in Afghanistan mainly deployed under NATO and a separate US-led coalition that is trying to tackle mounting violence from a Taliban-led insurgency. The troops have intensified operations against insurgent strongholds in preparation for the historic presidential elections set for August 20. The unrest has raised concerns that the rebels might turn to direct their attacks on the election, especially in southern and eastern Afghanistan where the insurgency is its most intense. The Taliban, the main insurgent group behind the Al-Qaeda-supported insurgency, has called on Afghans to boycott the presidential vote which is only the second in the history of the troubled country.
