claimed the life of a woman, NATO said Friday.

Separately, the coalition reported that three more international soldiers -
including one American - had been killed in the south. Nationalities of two
of the victims were not released. They died in a roadside bombing Friday and
the American was killed Thursday, officials said.

The latest deaths brought to at least 18 the number of American troops
killed so far this month and 31 for the entire multinational force.

NATO said the deputy commander, who was captured by a joint Afghan and
coalition force in Khost province, ran weapons for the

reported directly to the group's senior leaders across the border in
Pakistan. U.S. officials have described the Haqqani network as the most
potent threat to American forces in Afghanistan.

When the troops arrived at the scene, they saw two men running from the
targeted compound to another nearby. They fired after seeing someone point a
weapon out of a window. Inside the room, they found one woman dead and
another with a minor injury. An AK-47 was next to the female victim and a
rifle and another AK-47 also was found in the building, NATO said.

U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, a spokesman for the coalition. "We are taking
a step-by-step approach in investigating what happened during this
operation."

Troops at the scene treated the injured woman, who was later evacuated along
with two male relatives to a coalition forces medical facility.

While questioning the men at the scene, the security force identified and
detained the
