The deaths were a fresh reminder that the conflict is nowhere near over for some U.S. troops, who will keep fighting for at least two more years. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said the five American troops were killed Monday "dur- ing a security operation in southern Afghanistan." "Investigators are look- ing into the likelihood that friendly fire was the cause. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of these fallen," Kirby said in a statement. In Washington, two U.S. defense officials said the five Americans were special operations force members, but they were not more spe- cific. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity be- cause notification of the families of the five had not yet been completed. The deaths occurred dur- ing a joint operation of Af- ghan and NATO forces in the Arghandab district of southern Zabul province ahead of Saturday's presi- dential runoff election, said provincial police chief Gen. Ghulam Sakhi Rooghlawa- nay. After the operation was over, the troops came under attack from the Taliban and called in air support, he said. "Unfortunately five NATO soldiers and one Afghan army officer were killed mis- takenly by NATO airstrike," Rooghlawanay said. There was no way to inde- pendently confirm Rooghla- wanay's comments. The co- alition would not comment and NATO headquarters in Brussels also declined to comment. However, special opera- tions forces often come un- der fire on joint operations and are responsible for call- ing in air support when needed. Because of con- straints placed by President Hamid Karzai, such air- strikes are usually called "in extremis," when troops fear they are about to be killed. Airstrikes have long caused tensions between the Afghan government and coalition forces, espe- cially when they cause civil- ian casualties. Airstrikes that kill co- alition soldiers are far less common. One of the worst such incidents came in April 2002, when four Ca- nadian soldiers were killed by an American F-16 jet fighter that dropped a bomb on a group of troops dur- ing a night firing exercise in southern Kandahar. In April 2004, former National Football League player Pat Tillman was killed by coali- tion fire while serving in an Army Ranger unit in one of the most highly publicized cases. One of the five Ameri- can troops killed Monday was identified as 19-year- old Aaron Toppen of Mo- kena, Ill., who had de- ployed to Afghanistan in March, a month after his father died, according to a family spokeswoman, Jennie Swartz. His fam- ily was suffering a "double hit" of grief, Toppen's sister, Amanda Gralewski, told the Chicago Sun-Times. The Taliban claimed re- sponsibility for Monday's ambush in Zabul. A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said a battle took place between foreign troops and Taliban fighters in the Arghandab district, and a "huge num- ber" of NATO soldiers were killed or wounded in the fighting. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims. The insurgents have in- tensified attacks on Afghan and foreign forces ahead of Saturday's presidential run- off, and officials are con- cerned there could be more violence around the time of the vote, although the first round in April passed rela- tively peacefully. Of the 30,000 or so U.S. troops left in Afghanistan, special operations forces are among the only ones that are active on the bat- tlefield, mentoring and ad- vising Afghan commandos during raids.

Five American troops were killed in an apparent coalition airstrike in southern Afghanistan, officials said Tuesday. The Associated Press BAGHDAD In a stun- ning assault that exposed Iraq's eroding central au- thority, al-Qaida-inspired militants overran much of Mosul on Tuesday, seiz- ing government buildings, pushing out security forces and capturing military ve- hicles as thousands of resi- dents fled the second-larg- est city. The rampage by the black banner-waving in- surgents was a heavy de- feat for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as he tries to hold onto power, and highlighted the growing strength of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Le- vant. The group has been advancing in both Iraq and neighboring Syria, captur- ing territory in a campaign to set up a militant enclave straddling the border. There were no immedi- ate estimates on how many people were killed in the as- sault, a stark reminder of the reversals in Iraq since U.S. forces left in late 2011. Earlier this year, Islamic State fighters took control of Fallujah, and govern- ment forces have been un- able to take it back. Mosul is a much bigger, more strategic prize. The city and surrounding Ni- nevah province, which is on the doorstep of Iraq's relatively prosperous Kurdish region, are a ma- jor export route for Iraqi oil and a gateway to Syria. "This isn't Fallujah. This isn't a place you can just cordon off and for- get about," said Michael Knights, a regional security analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Pol- icy. "It's essential to Iraq." Al-Maliki pressed par- liament to declare a state of emergency that would grant him greater powers, saying the public and gov- ernment must unite "to confront this vicious at- tack, which will spare no Iraqi." Legal experts said these powers could include imposing curfews, restrict- ing public movements and censoring the media. State TV said lawmak- ers would convene Thurs- day. Parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni from Mosul, called the rout "adisasterbyanystandard."
