KABUL, Aug 10 (Reuters) - One NATO soldier was killed and
another wounded on Friday during a patrol in southern
Afghanistan, the alliance said.

The identity of the soldiers and the circumstances of the
incident were not made clear. The death brings the number
of foreign troops killed in action in Afghanistan this year
to 95.

Several hundred more Western soldiers have been wounded
in the Taliban-led insurgency, which has been at its fiercest
in the past 18 months, the bloodiest period since the
overthrow of the Taliban government in 2001.
