Kabul - A soldier under NATO command and three Afghan policemen were killed in two different incidents in southern Afghanistan, while unknown gunmen killed an Islamic cleric in the same region, officials said Tuesday.
The soldier, who was part of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), was killed in a "hostile incident" in the southern region on Tuesday, ISAF said in a statement.
The statement did not reveal the identity or nationality of the deceased soldier, nor did it say how the incident occurred. Most of the 50,000-strong ISAF troops in the south are soldiers from the US, Canada and Britain.
