Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another UK soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 36 Engineer Regiment, part of the counter - IED Task Force ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 256 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 223 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. It can be postulated that 2010 will be a lot worse that 2009 for our forces out there in Afghanistan.
