KABUL, Afghanistan — An International Security Assistance Force service member died of wounds suffered in an exchange of fire with insurgents. The hostile fire incident occurred yesterday, Sept. 6, in the south of Afghanistan.
"I extend my sincere condolences to the family members and friends of this courageous soldier," said Brigadier-General Eric Tremblay, ISAF spokesperson.
"The enemies of Afghanistan are trying to prevent ISAF, the Afghan national security forces and the international community from achieving a common objective: Secure the Afghan population to allow progress, development, governance and reconstruction to occur."
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.
