Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Afghan insurgents kill at least six foreign soldiers AFP - 2 hours 43 minutes ago Send IM Story Print KABUL (AFP) - – An insurgent attack killed six foreign soldiers in Afghanistan's Taliban-infested south on Sunday, NATO said, days before the White House publishes a review of US strategy in the increasingly deadly war. An Afghan army general separately said a suicide car bomber had killed seven American soldiers in the southern province of Kandahar in what appeared to be the same incident, but NATO declined to give more details about the deaths. Despite record numbers of coalition casualties and talk that the Taliban's reach is spreading, the US assessment is likely to endorse the current strategy amid claims of some battlefield success in the highly volatile south. But critics say the mounting death toll is indicative of a strengthening insurgency and that it is time to negotiate with the militants to end nine years of violence that is only getting worse. General Abdul Hamid, commander of the Afghan national army (ANA) for Kandahar, Oruzgan and Zabul provinces, said: "A suicide attacker rammed his explosive-laden car near the wall of a joint ANA and foreign forces camp in Zhari district (in Kandahar). "It killed seven American and two ANA soldiers, also injuring four American soldiers." The Taliban, in a statement sent to AFP, claimed responsibility for the suicide attack, which it said targeted a large house in Zhari that was being rebuilt as an outpost for American soldiers. Taliban spokesman Yousuf Ahmadi said a suicide attacker he named only as Ahmadullah had rammed the house with a vehicle carrying 2,000 kilograms of explosives, "killing and wounding 30 invaders." However, the Taliban are known to exaggerate the results of their operations. The attack took to at least 692 the number of foreign soldiers killed so far in 2010, the bloodiest year by far in the conflict, according to an AFP tally based one kept by icasualties.org. In 2009, 521 coalition troops died. On November 29, six American police training soldiers were killed by one of their Afghan students in eastern Nangarhar province in one of the bloodiest single attacks in months. The south of the country is the Taliban's heartland, where 15 civilians, including children, were killed Saturday in a roadside bomb blast -- the insurgents' cheaply made weapon of choice that claims most lives in the war. The rebels were ousted from government in 2001 by a US-led invasion and have since focused their violent bid for a return to power in the south and east of the war-torn country, which both border Pakistan. The long-awaited US war review, expected to be released at the end of the week, comes a year after President Barack Obama deployed 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan to combat the growing insurgency. NATO leaders at a summit last month in Lisbon endorsed plans for beginning a "transition" to Afghan forces providing security across the country in 2011, with an aim of ending the combat mission by the end of 2014. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Wednesday said during a visit to Afghanistan that he was "convinced" the US "surge" strategy was paying off. NATO has said it would battle hard through the bitter Afghan winter, which usually signals a lull in fighting. But the US-led war is facing dwindling support at home as casualties mount. The coalition's upbeat assessment conflicts with that of a group of influential international experts on Afghanistan, who on Saturday appealed to Obama to radically change his strategy and negotiate directly with the Taliban. An open letter from 23 researchers, journalists and NGO chiefs said the current strategy was failing as the militants were growing in strength, and a coalition government including the Taliban should be the long-term goal. "It is better to negotiate now rather than later, since the Taliban will likely be stronger next year. "The situation on the ground is much worse than a year ago because the Taliban insurgency has made progress across the country," the letter said. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has made overtures to the Taliban and other insurgents to negotiate an end to the war, but they have so far said they will not talk until all foreign forces leave the country.
