STAFF WRITER 16:48 HRS IST

Kabul, Oct 5 (AP) Two more NATO soldiers, including one American, are reported dead in the latest fighting in Afghanistan.

A NATO statement says the US soldier died of wounds suffered in an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan yesterday.

The statement says a second service member died of wounds in a roadside bombing today in southern Afghanistan. NATO is not releasing the service member's nationality.

The latest deaths follow an attack two days ago against a pair of remote outposts in Nuristan province. Eight US soldiers were killed in the Saturday attack, which was the deadliest against US forces in Afghanistan in more than a year.
