Navy Chief Petty Officer Brian Naranjo says the attacks happened on Saturday.

Southern Afghanistan is the center of the Taliban-led insurgency, which has made a violent comeback since its initial defeat in the U.S.-led invasion. Thousands of U.S. Marines and British troops are conducting anti-Taliban operations in the region ahead of this month's presidential elections.

Separately, a French soldier was killed and two others were wounded during a clash with insurgents north of Kabul, the French military said in a statement.

The number of U.S. and other NATO killed in bombing and clashes has soared this year.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

KABUL (AP) — NATO says three of its troops were killed in two roadside blasts in southern Afghanistan.

The military alliance says the blasts hit their patrol on Saturday. It did not provide details on the nationalities of the victims or the exact location of the blast.

The number of NATO and other foreign troops killed in clashes and bombing has soared this year. With 74 foreign troops killed, July was the deadliest month for foreign troops since the start of the war in 2001.

Blaming O'Bots for the continuing bloodshed there is akin to blaming Republican Party members who supported Dr. Ron Paul throughout the last few years for Bush having started the bogus wars since 9/11 to begin with.

Obama is for the Afghanistan war, obviously. But if you'll check any reputable public opinion poll of those who were his earliest and staunchest supporters and followers, you will find that they are ANTI-ALL WARS and voted for him IN SPITE OF his pledge to ramp up the Af/Pak operations.

It is no accident that the earliest, most vociferous and most enthusiastic grassroots support of the 2007-08 presidential derby coalesced two years ago around the campaigns of Paul and Obama. At that time they were BOTH TOTALLY ANTI-WAR, IIRC. Obama later on was told by his NWO advisers (Soros and Brzezinski come to mind) that he HAD to support Af/Pak and so he dutifully modulated his anti-war rhetoric in favor of what he now supports.

Huh?

First, RPs support didn't come from Republicans.

Second, RP was against the war while the Rs supported it.

Third, Obama supported the war, and the Os on this board did too.

In order to vote for Ron Paul last year, you had to vote as a Republican. All who voted for Paul by definition became Republicans, at least for that day.

That is one of the MAJOR problems with Ron Paul, IMO. He IS a Republican and always will be. He ran once as a Libertarian for President (and I voted for him), but he went crawling back to the GOPers several years after that.

And not one who voted for RP supported war in Afghanistan. OTOH, the Ds knew Obama was going to surge the place with lots o' troops, and lo and behold he did! So ya' see, it's the political LEFT who are the blood dancers. So sorry if that's troubling. As I said, the two Os here have acknowledged they support Obama's GOOD war. What's that about?

Well, Ron Paul did. So did I and a lot of others.

Afghanistan and the Taliban were sheltering those who had attacked America. This is very comparable to the Barbary pirates who operated against American shipping and hid behind the Barbary states. Somalia recently was doing much the same thing.

You can't let pirates or terrorists operate against you by being shielded by a host country. The Founders never allowed it.

You just proved you really don't know much about what happened on 9/11.

Hint: 19 guys in a cave had ZERO to do with it nor did the mythical bin Laden, who worked for the CIA up until the day he died.
