Four US soldiers were killed in attacks in southern Afghanistan, the military said Thursday, with security forces on alert for violence during voting in presidential and provincial elections. Three were killed in attacks in the south on Wednesday while a fourth died in a mortar attack in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, the International Security Assistance Force said. The new deaths added to a mounting death toll for international troops in Afghanistan that has reached 50 this month, according to a toll maintained by the independent icasualties.org group. There are about 62,000 US forces in Afghanistan, making up the bulk of an international deployment from 42 countries.
