KABUL, Afghanistan — An International Security Assistance Force service member was killed in an IED strike in eastern Afghanistan this morning.
"On behalf of ISAF, I offer our condolences to the loved ones and comrades of this brave service member," said Brigadier-General Richard Blanchette, ISAF Spokesperson. "On this difficult day, we renew our commitment to support and protect the Afghan people as they battle for stability, prosperity and peace."
It is ISAF policy not to release the nationality of any casualty prior to the relevant national authority doing so.
