KABUL – Seven more U.S. troops have given their lives for Washington’s war on the people of Afghanistan.

Two American servicemen died in bombings on Sunday in southern Afghanistan, while two others were killed in a bomb attack in the south on Saturday and three in fighting in the east the same day, NATO officials said on Sunday.
The Americans’ identities and other details were being withheld until their relatives could be notified, The Associated Press reported.
The latest deaths bring to 42 the number of American forces who have died this month in Afghanistan after July's high of 66. A total of 62 international forces have died in the country this month, including seven British troops.
Washington’s imperialist war in Afghanistan is intensifying with the addition of 30,000 U.S. troops to bring the total number of international occupation forces in Afghanistan to 120,000 -- 100,000 of them American. Most of those new troops have been assigned to the southern Taliban strongholds of Helmand and Kandahar provinces..
Meanwhile the five campaign workers had been snatched on Wednesday by armed men who stopped their two-vehicle convoy as it was traveling through remote countryside. Five others traveling in the vehicles had earlier been set free, according to a man who answered the phone at the home of candidate Fawzya Galani and declined to give his name.
Residents of Herat's Adraskan district reported finding the bodies early Sunday and they were later transported to the local morgue, district chief Nasar Ahmad Popul said.
No one has claimed responsibility for the killings, and waging a campaign of murder and intimidation in hopes of sabotaging the Sept. 18 parliamentary polls.
Galani may be a particular target of insurgents because she is one of only a few female candidates for the 249 seats in the lower house.
In a similar attack in Herat, male parliamentary candidate Abdul Manan was shot and killed on Saturday on his way to a mosque by an assassin traveling on the back of a motorcycle.
A number of other candidates and their aides have been killed, injured or threatened around the country.
While streets in the capital Kabul are festooned with campaign posters, many Afghans say they don't plan to vote, either because of safety concerns or cynicism over ineffective government and widespread corruption.
Electoral officials cut the number of nationwide voting sites for the elections by nearly 1,000 to 5,897 because of security concerns.
Meanwhile on Sunday, two suicide bombers attempted to climb over the back wall of a compound housing the governor of the far western province of Farah, but were spotted by guards and shot, provincial police Chief Mohammad Faqir Askir said.
The men's vests exploded, although it wasn't clear if they detonated them themselves or if it was because they were hit by bullets, Askir said.
The explosions blasted a hole in the wall and blew out windows in the compound, but there were no reports of deaths or injuries, he said.
NATO said eight insurgents were killed in joint Afghan-NATO operations Saturday night in the province of Paktiya, including a Taliban commander, Naman, accused of coordinating roadside bomb attacks and the movement of ammunition, supplies and fighters.
Automatic weapons, grenades, magazines and bomb-making material were found in buildings in Zormat district along the mountainous border with Pakistan. Afghan leaders frequently complain that Pakistan is doing to little to prevent cross-border incursions and shut down insurgent safe havens in its territory.
Just south in Khost province, U.S. and Afghan troops raised the death toll among insurgents to more than 30 in simultaneous attacks Saturday by around 50 fighters on Forward Operating Base Salerno and nearby Camp Chapman, where seven CIA employees died in a suicide attack in December.
Insurgents wore replica American uniforms and at least 13 had strapped themselves into suicide bomb vests.
