Third British soldier confirmed killed in Afghan ambush
Kabul, Aug 1, 2006 A third British soldier has been confirmed dead in an ambush in southern Afghanistan after being reported missing earlier, NATO's military force in the country said. "We now have confirmation of three killed in action," an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman told AFP. ISAF said earlier that two British soldiers were killed and one was unaccounted for. Another was badly hurt in the ambush early Tuesday. The confirmation of the latest death takes to nine the number of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year. Sixty-three foreign troops have been killed in combat, most of them Americans.
