Improvised Bomb Blasts Claim 6 American Lives, Another Falls Victim to Small Arms Fire

(CBS/AP) The U.S. command says five American soldiers have been killed in a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan.

Two more U.S. soldiers were killed in separate attacks Monday - one a bombing in the south and the other by small arms fire in the south.

Three other NATO soldiers from other countries were also killed in attacks Monday, bringing the day's death toll for the alliance to 10. No further details on any of the attacks were released.

In addition, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul says an American contractor died in a suicide attack against the police training center in the southern city of Kandahar.

The latest violence came as President Hamid Karzai's office defended his decision to remove two of Afghanistan's top security officials, conceding they would be missed but insisting they must be held accountable for a recent lapse - an attack on a major peace conference.

3. exact same tactic as in Iraq.

and it can't be stopped until we start paying the right people - namely the taliban.

or withdraw. this is looking as futile as iraq. i once had hope that we would have success if we took a different approach to the opium fields, at least. but the concentration is still on eradication and not purchase - hasn't anyone in the military or state department read Sun Tzu?
