KABUL (AP) — NATO is reporting the deaths of two more American service members in Afghanistan.

A NATO statement says the two Americans were killed Thursday by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan but gave no further details.

The deaths bring to three the number of U.S. service members killed in the Afghan war so far this month. October was the deadliest month of the eight-year war for U.S. forces with 59 deaths reported.
