Para pejabat mengatakan seorang pembom bunuh diri telah menewaskan lima tentara Prancis di Afghanistan timur. Serangan hari Rabu itu terjadi di distrik Tagab dari provinsi Kapisa. Setidaknya satu warga sipil Afghanistan juga tewas ketika pembom meledakkan bahan peledak di dekat pasukan NATO.

Kematian datang sehari setelah Presiden Prancis Nicolas Sarkozy mengunjungi Afghanistan dan mengumumkan negaranya akan menarik 1.000 tentara pada akhir 2012. Perancis memiliki sekitar 4.000 tentara di Afghanistan. Korban ini membawa jumlah korban pasukan ISAF selama tahun ini menjadi 306 orang (icasualties.org).
