International forces are due to leave by the end of next
year
Four soldiers serving with the Nato-led
international force in Afghanistan have been
killed in the south of the country.
Nato said they were killed by enemy combatants while
taking part in an operation alongside Afghan forces.
It did not give the nationalities of those who died, but a
military official told AP news agency they were
Americans.
They were hit by a roadside bomb, the official said.
No further details of the attack were given.
The Taliban are reported to have become more active
in the south as international forces scale back their
operations in preparation for withdrawal by the end of
2014.
Nato troops, which lead the International Security and
Assistance Force (Isaf), are transferring responsibility
for security to Afghan troops as the pullout draws near.
