Four NATO soldiers killed in Afghanistan
The soldiers died "following separate improvised explosive device (IED) attacks" on Saturday, Isaf said in a statement, without providing further details or the nationalities of the victims.
The latest deaths take the toll among Nato troops in Afghanistan this year to 169 and the total in 10 years of war to 3,016, according to an AFP count based on records kept by icasualties.org.
Nato has some 130,000 troops in Afghanistan but they will withdraw by the end of 2014, leaving the fight against Taliban insurgents to Afghan forces.
The Taliban have stepped up their attacks across the country since announcing the start of their spring offensive at the beginning of May.

@cautious yea rite america also won Vietnam War...Look at the kill ratio dude.
Yes, because a war is all about a tally sheet.
@Cautious: The value of 300 western solders is more than several thousand innocent killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by US/ NATO.
@Cautious 300 in today's world is equal to 30,000 of WW2.
@Cautious:
You just need to listen to yourself honestly and you will know who won and lost the war.
For those who proclaim that NATO has lost this war --- how many countries do you know of that "lost" a war with only 300 casualties a year?
Likely died of heat and starvation due to Pakistan embargo
ET liberals must be very sad today...
