Gen Bajwa noted that Pakistan because of facing “similar trial of blood in fight against common threat of terrorism” well understood the anguish of the bereaved families of the soldiers killed.
Two US troops were killed and four others were injured when a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into a Nato convoy on the outskirts of Kandahar city, which is host to one of the largest American bases in the country. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Seven US troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year. Last year the US lost nine soldiers in the war-torn country.
