Funny Friendly Fire' Kills Nato Soldiers in Afghanistan

At least two Nato soldiers were killed on Wednesday following a friendly fire incident in southern Afghanistan, Isaf said in a statement on Thursday.
Isaf did not provide more details about the incident and nationality of the soldiers.
"An Isaf Joint Command assessment team is looking into the incident. A formal investigation will determine the circumstances that led to the incident," Isaf said in the statement.
Many US and UK troops are based in the south of Afghanistan, fighting militants.
The death brings the number of foreign forces killed in the country to
115 so far this year.
Eighty one US soldiers, 14 British and 20 from other countries have been killed in the Afghan violence since the beginning of the year.
The deaths come as Afghan and foreign forces have launched many military operations in the country to wipe out insurgents.
Foreign forces are to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
