Six international soldiers were killed in a wave of violence in some of the most volatile regions of insurgency-wracked Afghanistan, NATO said. The dead included three Americans killed in southern Afghanistan, one French soldier northeast of the capital Kabul, and two more whose nationalities were not officially given, NATO and military officials said.
