NATO soldier, 3 coalition soldiers killed in Afghanistan

A NATO soldier and three coalition soldiers were killed Friday in separate incidents in Afghanistan on Friday.

There was no immediate information on the nationality of the soldiers.

The NATO soldier was killed when a suicide bomber slammed into a military convoy, a NATO spokesman said.

...

The three coalition soldiers were killed during a battle with Taliban extremists in northeastern Afghanistan, in the Waygal District of Nuristan Province, the U.S. military said.
