"KABUL, Afghanistan – An ISAF soldier and an interpreter were killed and 2 ISAF troops injured today during a routine patrol in Southern Afghanistan.
“ISAF troops and their interpreter colleagues routinely work in a hugely difficult and challenging environment. The uncertainty and risks they face are self evident, and it is testament to their courage and professionalism that they continually carry out their duties to such a high standard”. Lt Col Bridget Rose, a spokesperson for Regional Command South said. “Now our thoughts are very much with the families, friends and colleagues of those who have died or been injured in today’s incident”.
In accordance with ISAF policy, ISAF does not release the casualty’s nationality prior to the relevant national authority doing so."

"A NATO soldier has been killed and two others have been wounded during a routine patrol in southern Afghanistan. A NATO statement says an Afghan interpreter working with the troops was also killed. NATO did not provide the soldier's nationalities or the circumstances which led to the deaths. Violence is soaring in Afghanistan, especially in the country's south and east. This year, it is estimated more than 3,900 people - most of them militants - have died."
Not again (I hope) - nonetheless, condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of the fallen, regardless of country....
