American service members, Afghan court personnel killed in Afghanistan


Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- In another bloody day, four service members -- all of them Americans -- were killed Tuesday in a roadside bomb attack in eastern Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force said.
The NATO-led force did not release additional details about the attack or where it took place.
In addition, three Afghan supreme court personnel were killed and 12 others injured during a terrorist attack in the Mosahi district in Kabul province on Tuesday, Afghanistan's Ministry of the Interior said in a written statement.
Two unknown armed terrorists on a motorbike attacked the court employees' minibus, the ministry said.
The attacks came a day after seven other NATO troops were killed in two incidents in southern Afghanistan, the military said.
One of the fallen was identified as Sgt. Herdis Sikka, 20, of Estonia. He was killed while on routine patrol in the Helmand province on Monday when he stepped on an improvised explosive device. He died a few hours later. CNN
