"Last night there was an IED attack," Shah Mohammad, local administration chief of Arghandab district, told AFP. "Four Afghan local police and three national police, one ISAF soldier and one Afghan interpreter were killed."
Separately, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said that one service member had died "following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan yesterday".
A spokesman declined to give further details or confirm Afghan casualties.
But a Western security source confirmed to AFP that both were referring to the same incident. (*)
