KABUL: An insurgent attack in Afghanistan has killed two members of the international military coalition.

Nato says the two died Friday in eastern Afghanistan, but did not disclose any other information.

The heaviest fighting in the war is currently concentrated in the south and east of the country, although insurgents have opened new fronts in the north and west and continue to conduct suicide bombings in the capital, Kabul.

So far this year, 154 Nato service members have been killed in the war. At least 100 of them were Americans.
