KABUL, AFGHANISTAN (BNO NEWS) -- Eight coalition service members were killed Saturday in three separate attacks across Afghanistan, less than a week after the Taliban announced the start of their so-called spring offensive, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said. The deadliest attack happened on Saturday morning in the Maiwand district of Kandahar province, located in Afghanistan's volatile south, when a roadside bomb struck a vehicle carrying a number of American Troops. The multinational force confirmed five of its service members, all of them American, were killed in the blast. Two more coalition service members were killed in western Farah province when an Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier opened fire at foreign Troops. ISAF would not disclose the nationality of those killed, but a U.S. official in Washington confirmed both casualties were American. Provincial police said the gunman was killed when American Troops returned fire. Another coalition service member died in an insurgent attack in northern Afghanistan on late Saturday, but the exact location of the attack or his nationality was not immediately known. Details about the circumstances of the attack were also not immediately disclosed, but ISAF typically refers to small-arms attacks as insurgent attacks. The attacks made Saturday the bloodiest day so far this year for foreign Troops in Afghanistan. It comes less than a week after the Taliban ...
