Afghan ambush kills Nato members | |
(1 day later) | |
Suspected militants have ambushed a Nato convoy in Afghanistan, killing two of its number, the alliance has said. | |
A soldier and a translator were killed when the convoy was attacked with small arms and rocket propelled grenades. | |
Nato did not say exactly where Saturday's attack took place, or give the nationalities of those killed. | |
Meanwhile, there was confusion over Afghan claims that a boat sunk on a river in Helmand province, drowning 60 people including some Taleban fighters. | |
The defence ministry said fighters were fleeing Afghan forces when they boarded a boat to cross the river, but that it sank and its occupants died. | |
"According to reports we received, all of them on board were Taleban and were killed," defence ministry spokesman General Mohammad Zahir Azimi said on Sunday. | |
Other reports, however, suggested that those aboard the boat made it safely across the river and away. |
