KABUL (AP) - June 1, 2009 Spokesman Col. Greg Julian says the two strikes happened Monday
in different locations but "not too far from each other." He
declined to say where the strikes happened because family members
have not yet been contacted.
The four Americans are serving in eastern Afghanistan under the
NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.
The U.S. military has said that IED attacks are up 25 percent
this year over the same period in 2008. The military predicts IED
attacks to spike 50 percent this year after an expected increase in
attacks over the summer.
