KABUL, Afghanistan -- Suspected Taliban militants ambushed a U.S.-led coalition
patrol in southern Afghanistan, killing one soldier, while an attack on police
in the east left two insurgents and one police officer dead, officials said Tuesday.

The militants fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a military convoy in Kandahar
province's restive Panjwayi district on Monday, killing the soldier and damaging
one vehicle, said Capt. Andre Salloum, a NATO spokesman in the area.

He did not identify the nationality of the dead soldier, but the majority of the
coalition troops are American.
