    Nato troops killed in Afghanistan

    Six soldiers serving with the Nato-led force in Afghanistan have been killed, the alliance has announced.

    They died when the vehicle they were travelling in hit an explosive device, a statement from Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said.

    One other soldier was injured. The nationalities of the dead and injured have not yet been released.

    The announcement came as Nato and Afghan troops battled Taleban militants in southern Helmand province.

    An Isaf spokeswoman told the BBC there had been no civilian casualties and that all signs pointed to the Taleban.

    "Certainly it lends itself to the type of tactic that Taleban extremists use," Lt Col Angela Billings said.

    "Because they cannot beat us conventionally or tactically, they resort to this type of tactic in order to hide in the shadows."
