ISAF did not identify the nationalities of the dead soldiers and gave no further details of the incident, which came on the third day of fierce protests against the burning of the Holy Quran at a US-run military base.

Asked whether the events were connected, an ISAF spokesman would only say: "There was a demonstration in the province."
