KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - A clash in southern
Afghanistan killed a Danish soldier and wounded two
others Monday, officials said. A separate attack on a
NATO patrol killed two British troops, officials said.

The clash with insurgents in volatile Helmand province
brought to 14 the number of Danish troops who have
been killed in Afghanistan since Denmark joined the
U.S.-led coalition in 2002.

The blast that struck another NATO patrol in the same
province killed two members of 40 Commando Royal
Marines, Britain's Ministry of Defense said.

Ninety-one British troops have now died in Afghanistan
since 2001.
