French President Nicolas Sarkozy (l) speaks with French soldiers from the 8th regiment 1 of paratroopers at Warehouse 2 camp in Kabul, Afghanistan, 20 Aug 2008
Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to Afghanistan hours after reports that the soldiers had been killed in fierce clashes with some 100 Taliban militants 4 in the mountains east of Kabul.
Speaking before French troops at a NATO base in the Afghan capital, the president said France pays tribute to the memory of the soldiers.
He said they fulfilled their duties to the fullest and it cost them their lives, which reminds us that being a soldier is a job like no other.
Mr. Sarkozy also visited the 21 troops wounded in this encounter, which NATO officials described as an ambush 5 of a French-led reconnaissance mission in mountainous terrain 6.
There are more than 2,500 French troops in Afghanistan and Humayun Hamidzada, a spokesman for Afghan President Hamid Karzai, said this attack would not affect France's commitment to the country.
He said the French president stressed that the incident would not affect relations between Afghanistan and France and he reassured 7 Mr. Karzai of France's commitment to the struggle against terrorism.
Violence across Afghanistan has sharply risen this year, along with record opium 8 harvests. Afghanistan's president has blamed his own government and international allies for failing to pay enough attention to the militant 3 problem. Afghan officials have also said militant sanctuaries 9 across the border in Pakistan have allowed the groups to grow stronger.
Pakistani officials counter that Afghanistan's booming opium trade and Afghan government corruption 10 have worsened the militancy 11 problem, which they say is causing instability in their own country.
