KABUL: An American soldier was killed on Tuesday during an anti-Taliban operation near the capital of the southern Afghan province of Helmand, US-led NATO forces said. The news comes after NATO on Monday announced the deployment of around 100 US troops to Lashkar Gah to help head off a potential Taliban takeover as fighting intensifies. “One US service member died as a result of wounds sustained during operations,” NATO said. “The service member was killed conducting train, advise, assist activities under NATO authorities when their patrol triggered an IED,” the statement added.
