Eight US service members and two members of the Afghan National Security Force were killed in a battle with militants in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday. Tribal militants attacked two security outposts in the Nuristan province, said the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The battle continued all day and Coalition forces repelled the attack, inflicting heavy enemy casualties, the alliance told without offering details.
