Four NATO soldiers, including two British, have been killed in different incidents in Afghanistan on Monday, officials said


Two bomb blasts killed two British service personnel in the volatile southern Helmand province.

An American serviceman and a Colombian, serving in the Spanish army, died in two roadside bombs in south and western Afghanistan.

Attacks by militants in Afghanistan have killed at least 31 US soldiers, 8 British and 12 from other coalition members in 2010, according to icasualties.org.

At least 110,000 foreign military personnel are deployed in Afghanistan under NATO and US command. Of these, at least 74,000 are American.

President Barack Obama has announced that an additional 30,000 US troops will be deployed quickly in Afghanistan to fight the growing Taliban-led insurgency.

The reinforcements will take the total number of US troops in Afghanistan to more than 100,000.
