KABUL, Afghanistan — ISAF incorrectly reported the death of a service member due to wounds sustained in a hostile incident in western Afghanistan, Sept. 12. Two service members, not three, died in this engagement.
Release No. 699 initially reported the deaths of two service members and was updated to report that a third had died of wounds. The update was incorrect.
The battle in question involved service members from several units; a service member who was temporarily attached to a unit other than his own was reported killed by both his own unit and the unit he was assisting. Unfortunately, this duplication was not discovered until the following day.
