Eight NATO troops were killed in Afghanistan Thursday, bringing the number of foreign troop deaths in the past two days to 14, the International Security Assistance Force said.
An improvised explosive device attack killed three service members in the west, and two died in an insurgent attack in the south.
One died after an insurgent attack in the east, one died in an insurgent attack in the south and another was killed in an IED attack in the south.

Remember them, always; pray for their safety and their victory. Upon the progress of our arms hangs the safety of the world.
