three americans and a british soldier were killed in the south and a french soldier died north-east of kabul.

the nationality of the sixth soldier has not yet been released.

the deaths came as a poll commissioned by the bbc and others showed most afghans are increasingly upbeat乐观的，上升的 about the state of their country.
