KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Eight NATO service members have been killed in the past two days of fighting in Afghanistan, where the U.S.-led coalition is still mourning the deaths of 30 American troops and eight Afghans killed in the shootdown of their Chinook helicopter in the east, military officials said Friday.

The latest service member to be killed died Friday in a roadside bombing in southern Afghanistan, the coalition said. On Thursday, five U.S. troops died in a separate roadside bomb blast in the south, U.S. military officials said. No other details were released about the deaths.

Also on Thursday, a French soldier was killed when a roadside bomb exploded on a convoy 4 miles (7 kilometers) south of Tagab in Kapisa province in the east, the French defense ministry said in a statement. Four other French soldiers were wounded in the attack.
