BBC NEWS | World | South Asia | Afghan bombs kill eight US troops

Eight US soldiers have been killed in bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, say Nato-led forces.

An Afghan civilian was also killed in what were called "multiple complex IED attacks" - or improvised bombs.

The deaths make October the deadliest month for American forces in the eight-year war in Afghanistan.

On Monday 11 soldiers were among 14 Americans killed in multiple air crashes. In total 55 US troops have died in October, the Pentagon says.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Looks like Obama better dust down that "Peace with Honour" manual and get busy. This is falling apart, remember this is NOT the fighting season.
