CBS

(CBS/AP) KABUL, Afghanistan - Two service members with the international military coalition in Afghanistan were killed in an insurgent attack Wednesday, NATO said.

Coalition spokesperson Maj. Lori Hodges told CBS News that two International Security Assistance Force - Afghanistan (ISAF) service members were killed when their convoy came under attack by militants with small arms and rocket propelled grenades. One of the militants then detonated a suicide vest, she said.

NATO does not release the nationalities of slain troops until family can be notified, but Afghan sources tell CBS News the victims of the attack in Logar province were Americans.

So far this year, 285 NATO service members have been killed in Afghanistan.

You are so right! The Democrats have the News, to, report what they want. It is not here, but over there where they control the airwaves. When Bush was in office, all you would here about is Iraq, when Obama got in office it ended like this!!

It comes down to the fact that NO-ONE CARES about this WAR.
This WAR in AFGHANISTAN has never had a MISSION that RANG TRUE.
I LOVE it because I see it for what it is; The American Suicidal Mission called AFGHANISTAN....

Two more deaths just for special interests in Washington, London and Paris! This brutal war in Afghanistan needs to end and we need to do as the Russians did back in 1989, that is to simply just pull out of there altogether if we can't get the Karzai regime and the Taliban to the negotiating table!

Waiting to hear this item reported on the morning news. One hour into the show and still nothing. Shameful! Reports involving NATO troops (writ large, US troops), ought to be accorded space in the opening news items. If you can dedicate 10-minutes of Gail and Nora rambling on about cruise ships, surely some recognition of the WAR in AFGHANISTAN warrants a comment. Yes, I know that fewer than 0.5% of Americans are in any way impacted by THE WAR, nonetheless, CBS do the right thing...report.
