A Military Operations news article

26 May 08

It is with deep regret that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that a British Serviceperson was killed in Afghanistan yesterday, Sunday 25 May 2008.

The incident, in which two other personnel were injured, happened at approximately 1250hrs, two kilometres north of Sangin, when the vehicle they were travelling in was caught in an explosion. The UK personnel were returning to their operating base following operations in the Musa Qaleh area. The two injured Service personnel were airlifted to Camp Bastion for medical treatment.

The next of kin have been informed and have requested a 24 hour period of grace before further details are released.
