Nato suffers deadliest year in Afghanistan since 2001 invasion
International forces have suffered the bloodiest year in Afghanistan since 2001 after four United States soldiers were killed in a bomb blast.
The latest deaths push the death toll of Nato-led coalition to 295 troops in less than eight months. The death toll for the whole of last year was 294.

The coalition currently has 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, including 68,000 Americans and 10,000 British.
