KABUL, Afghanistan — An International Security Assistance Force service member was killed yesterday in southern Afghanistan.
An ISAF patrol was attacked by insurgents with small arms fire. The patrol responded accordingly but one service member lost his life in the engagement.
"As we reluctantly acknowledge the sad outcome of this incident, I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the loved ones of this fearless soldier who fought hard for the freedom of Afghanistan," said Brig. Gen. Eric Tremblay, ISAF spokesperson.
It is ISAF policy to not release the nationality of any casualties before the relevant national authority doing so.
The next of kin have been informed.
