Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that two British soldiers were killed in Afghanistan on Friday, the soldiers came from the " 3rd Battalion The Rifles ". Thus so far in 2010 four British Soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, lets hope 2010 has a lower death rate than 2009. Since 2001 the UK has lost 249 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, in that total it has lost 216 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. There will be more deaths.
