KABUL (AP) - NATO says two of its troops were killed in a roadside blast in southern Afghanistan.
The military alliance says the attack happened on Saturday. It did not provide a location for the attack or the soldiers' nationalities.
Taliban militants frequently attack Afghan and foreign troops with roadside bombs.
Southern Afghanistan is the center of the Taliban-led insurgency, where some 4,000 Marines have launched the biggest U.S. military operation to dislodge the rebels since 2001.
