KABUL: A roadside bomb and gunfight in eastern Afghanistan left two U.S.-led coalition soldiers dead and another two wounded on Saturday as six insurgents were killed in clashes with police in the south, officials said.

The French soldiers died when a roadside bomb exploded while they were conducting a combat patrol in the eastern Lagham Province, triggering a gunfight between coalition forces and "a group of enemy extremists," according to a statement issued by the U.S. military.

French defence ministry blamed Taliban for killing.

Separately, police clashed with suspected Taliban militants in southern Afghanistan , killing six and wounding 12 insurgents, a district chief said.

One policeman was also wounded after militants attacked the Argandab district chief's compound in the southern province of Zabul, said the district chief.●
