7 Georgian Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

Seven soldiers from Georgia were killed Thursday night, in Afghanistan.

A suicide bomber detonated a truck full of explosives outside of a Georgian military base in Nawzad.

The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the attack.

Thirty Georgians have now died in Afghanistan since they arrived in 2004.

Georgia has the largest contingent of non NATO soldiers, present in the conflict.

They sent their soldiers to join NATO forces, as a show of their desire to join the alliance.
