My Way News - US roadside bomb casualties rise in Afghanistan
My Way News reports: "Roadside bombs killed 268 American troops in Afghanistan last year, a 60 percent increase over the previous year [...] Defense officials attributed the rise in casualties to the surge in U.S. forces in Afghanistan last year. Fighting has increased, especially in southern and eastern Afghanistan, as coalition forces work to weaken the Taliban in their strongholds and keep them from returning in force this spring."
