Wed Jun 22, 2011 10:53AM
At least 259 US-led soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan so far this year.
A militant attack has killed a soldier with the US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in southern Afghanistan.
NATO reported the death in a statement on Wednesday but did not reveal the nationality of the soldier, Reuters reported.
According to the independent website iCasualties.org, at least 259 US-led soldiers, most of them Americans, have died in Afghanistan so far this year.
As the US-led force casualties persistently climb in Afghanistan, public opinion in the United States and other Western countries is increasingly turning against the Afghan war.
The security situation has steadily worsened across Afghanistan over the past few years despite the presence of around 150,000 US-led foreign troops in the country.
