KABUL ( 2008-09-17 11:48:00 ) :A roadside bomb killed four soldiers from the US-led coalition force and an Afghan national on Wednesday in eastern Afghanistan, the US military said.
The military did not identify the victims, but most foreign troops serving under coalition force in eastern Afghanistan are Americans.
The toll is the bloodiest in a single attack in recent weeks in Afghanistan where the al Qaeda-backed Taliban have stepped up their campaign of suicide attacks and roadside bomb blasts against the government and foreign troops backing it.
Some 160 foreign soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan so far this year.
