Insurgents and security forces in Afghanistan have cranked up their fight in recent days, with militants ambushing coalition and government targets and an air assault pounding enemy fighters, coalition authorities said on Tuesday.
Five American service members were killed Tuesday in Afghanistan - four of them in a roadside bomb attack in eastern Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force said.
The NATO-led force did not release additional details about the roadside attack or where it took place.
A fifth U.S. service member died following an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan, ISAF said.
In addition, three Afghan supreme court personnel were killed and 12 were wounded in a terrorist attack in the Mosahi district in Kabul province on Tuesday, Afghanistan's Ministry of the Interior said in a written statement.

post your real name and home town . who and what you are. or shut up and go away.
you are spinless godless cowardly baby murderering war criminals is what YOU are.
When did "troop" become a singular noun. In every dictionary I can find, it is defined as a plural noun, or a verb.
This is widely used in the media and is INCORRECT.
Troop means ONE Soldior. not Human Husband ,Son, Wife <dauther, uncle Aunt, Cousin,Person, no, it is a Troop".
and youd ont say they "died" no never mention THAT word.
Liars.
Please remember that you are responding to what the media tells you, and the media doens't always tell the whole story. My husband happens to be in Afghanistan right now, and he has told me of goings on that I know would never be reported since it seems more and more obvious that the media has an agenda. Terrorists continue to be a threat to our country; we see those stories everywhere. If someone was attacking your child and another person stood up for him, would you chastise the person trying to protect him? War is never popular, but sometimes it is necessary. For those of you who don't support our troops and the job they've offered to do, regardless of whether or not you agree with the war, I hope I don't hear you complaining if we get attacked again.
Riza you are an idiot.
There is a complain from honest people that these wars are being fought on the backs of poor and minorities and that is the reason that they, the wars, have lasted for so long, with so few, if any, accomplishments, other than the killing of a million plus innocent civilians that had as much to do with 9/11 and Saddam as Pee Wee Herman with space exploration. The only winners are those who started the wars, because they will collect millions from their corporate friends. We need the draft back, but republicans and some democrats will not go there. They need Joe Public, the poor and minorities to show their patriotism for the war cowards that will rather hide in the ANG or in deferments or in Canada or England that to defend, a la Pat Tillman, America when the going gets tough.
Deerjrky You are right on target we need to get our tail out of the entire middle east NOW spend the same money to care for our own and to keep out terror this bull we fight there so it isn't necessary at home is old hat just for the stupid to belive let the middle east fight it out amoung themselves to include the Zioin supporrters. We have enough problems with the future of or grandchilden to put our nose into this mess.
Daniel-2 That is the funniest name you have used yet! I hope you get a Herpi for posting it!
BRING OUR BOYS HOME
We dont need Afghanistan or anything from it, and they dont need us.
Get out and let them deal with their own problems. Let them kill each other. Why are we wasting RED AMERICAN BLLOD ON THIS RAT OF A COUNTRY
The WHOLE MIDDLE EAST CAN KISS MY AZZZZ
"Men" not "boys". and dont forget the "Women. not "girls".
Old enough to KIll and Die,
but To Young To drink.
Sorry folks,I didn't post the above.Some joker is trying to make me look bad but I hope whoever is reading this will have the good sense to believe me as I reiterate the fact that I'm no warmonger.
WHY DID WE GET DISTRACTED IN IRAQ FOR ??????????? G W BUSH personal war.
Yes We must put the blame where it belongs. Bush got us into unnecessary wars. Specially Iraq.
If we would of concentrate only in Afghanistan it would of turned out better.
But we hat an IDIOT as president.
The fact is MANY Democrats made the case and voted YES to invade Iraq including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden to name a few. Obama said Afghanistan was a war of necessity and he has escalated that war as well. This president is not doing anything different then the last one.
Im an Independent. dummycrats and repiglicuns, two sides of same coin.
Some one has to actully do the work.
The terrorist-supporting Taliban wannabes who would like to see us lose in Afghanistan post under a lot of different names, but their inability to punctuate properly is easily spotted.
Ahmad ,that is why afghans and US troops must get together and wipe out the suicide bombers . They are a big trouble to the whole world.
Will you kindly stop usurping my name? Like I said before,it makes me look bad and stupid.The big trouble to the world is the MIC(military-industrial-complex) which controls things in Washington!
Don't feel bad,dindy.This bozo pulls this on me all the time.He thinks that this obscene war is nothing but a big joke and to him I guess it is.He evidently has no shame.
what is said above is not from me. IT IS FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE OF SATAN. BECAUSE SATAN KNOWS IF I AM ON THIS CNN PAGE HE CANT WIN . ANYWAY WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES OF SATAN TOO MUCH. INSTEAD PRAY FOR THEIR SALVATION
I SAID NOTHING ABOUT MIC. I HAVE BEEN TO US MORE THAN TEN TIMES AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!! AND ITS FRIENDLY PEOPLE !!!
I SAID NOTHING ABOUT MIC. I HAVE BEEN TO US MORE THAN TEN TIMES AND MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!
How do you expect God to bless America dindy,while we're butchering defenseless people with those ungodly drones? It makes feel ashamed and it needs to stop.
You're right Joe.Thank you for your imput.We need far fewer warmongers than we have blogging in here now!
The drones are Allah-sent, destroying the Taliban vermin who murder innocent muslim women and children. Anyone who doesn't like the drones supports terrorism.
The same way, US troops kill Afghans. What about their families?
That's what I say.Does anybody think that those right-wing thugs in Washington really care about that?
I should have said adultery is not a crime let alone punishable by death.
In America adultery is not a crime punishable by death nor isw any crime punishable by the dismemberment of any body parts! So do not relate sharia law with American laws!
That is funny....a new word for us. GG
Those who are filthy and in the gutter are the radical Muslims who kill and torture those who sin when Jesus had died on the cross for all who have sinned!
So it is 360 degrees to kill and torture sinners huh?
HERE THEY Remove mines from Robot car and why they dont use there in Afghanistan?It is a good question by Capt"n Dubya
Hey you,quit blogging under my name,will you?It makes me look bad!!!
Why can't someone invent a robot car with x-ray to run ahead of the convoys and scan for IEDs in the ground? Surely this is possible. IEDs are buried no more then a foot underground.
These stupid IEDs are causing 90% of the injuries to our troops. Boo.
Why can't they invent a gun that can shoot down those ungodly drones??? I wish they would and how!!!
this is not me . some devil is using my name and writing .
Do you really like the war that much,Capt'n Dubya? It's such a shame that the Afghans have to suffer for what you take pleasure in.Where is your shame or don't feel any???
Alot of people only wear one pair of shoes, they never care to see what the other side of things. "
It's too bad that bad people are using the Afgans and the country as a base.
Whatever the US Air Force thinks it's doing in Afghanistan is not good enough. You fellas have to step on the gas and provide total battlespace surveillance and analysis, anythingless then total battlespace surveillance is irresponisible and unexceptable. I don't care who you have to fire to get the job done, but it's an imperative, in my mind, that you get up to work focusing on this conflict in Afghanistan.
I'm looking for a general who can get the job done for today's war and not tomorrow for the love of man.
More needs to brought to the table.
What we need is a conscientious president who'll get us out of there where we definately don't belong!!!
It ain't gonna happen,
so let's focus on now.
Like dismatling lethal networks
and getting some solid Pashtu leaders
that our not as corrupt as everyone in that theatre seems to be.
Where's my accountant Stewart Bowen?
Damn Stewart! bring the team to Afghanistan
and focus on this project for the love of man.
your right bledsoe we should leave, right now so that everyone that died, got aTBI or got there ass blown off can know that there total sacrifice was for 9+ years of nothing. Thats a good idea we should cut our loses and run because were Americans and I guess thats what we do now. So yeah screw that country whats the worst that can happen in the future.
How very sad. My heart goes out to the families. We should shoot first and ask questions later. We value our troop's lives.
Who does Paul blame forthese deaths, surely not President Bush, it's under President Obama's watch, as he stated last night on TV after President Obama spoke, 4,237 deaths were due to President Bush. Let me know Paul
Why don't you go look at some fact's about who voted yes on these wars before you make statement like that.
Kindly visit the website johnperkins.org to know the main reason behind loss of American lives in world as well as in Afghanistan.

Barak: Israel willing to divide Jerusalem
The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:05 AM PDT
Israel would be willing to divide control over Jerusalem as part of a peace deal, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told an Israeli newspaper.
I do agree that our lives, myself being in the military with an infantry unit, is very valuable, but most infantrymen value our freedom more than our lives. We value not being terrorized in this free land. We're not happy to give our lives... if it were up to us... we wouldn't want to fight, but when someone comes on our land without our permission and push us around... I will not stand around to expect someone to stand and fight... I will stand up with my brothers on my left and right and defend this country... we are trained to survive and to defend.
