NATO: US serviceman killed in Afghanistan

KABUL — NATO says an American serviceman has been killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

A statement from NATO’s International Security Assistance Force says the incident took place Saturday in southern Afghanistan, but it did not give further details or the victim’s branch of service.

The statement also says a joint Afghan-international force killed several militants, including a Taliban commander responsible for roadside bomb attacks, during an operation in southern Afghanistan’s Zabul province on Sunday.
