KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - Roadside bombs struck two NATO convoys
in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday and killed two soldiers hours after an
airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition killed at least 35 militants in the south,
officials said.

The NATO convoys were patrolling five miles apart when they were hit
by roadside bombs within 30 minutes of each other, the statement said.
In addition to the two dead, one NATO soldier was wounded. NATO did
not identify the killed and injured soldiers but most alliance soldiers in
the east are American.

The latest violence came as NATO military leaders assembled in Canada
to discuss more resources for their fight in Afghanistan's volatile south.
