Britain's military says three soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, bringing the country's death toll there to 100 since 2001. Officials say the soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing while on foot patrol one kilometer (less than one mile) from their base in Afghanistan's Upper Sangin Valley. A fourth soldier was wounded in the attack Sunday. The head of Britain's armed forces, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, and British Defense Secretary Des Browne released a joint statement expressing their condolences.
