Foreign troops deaths in Afghanistan pass 2,000
None
Total foreign military deaths in Afghanistan have passed 2,000 since the war began in late 2001, unofficial tallies showed on Sunday, more than 60% of them Americans but still far behind ever-growing civilian casualties.
The deaths of at least one more US service member, an Australian and a Briton announced in the past two days have pushed the total to 2,002 since the Taliban were ousted in late 2001 by US-backed Afghan forces. (Reuters)
