Six US soldiers were killed close to Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, military sources say.
Their nationality is yet to be reviled. According to a senior Afghan army officer a suicide car bomber had targeted a checkpoint outside a base manned by Afghan and US troops in Zari district. Intensified fighting is due to US troops trying to push Taliban militants out of Helmand and Kandahar provinces. Nearly 700 are the international soldiers killed in Afghanistan so far this year, 520 were the victims during 2009.
