Three British soldiers die in Afghanistan

Advertisements [?]

LONDON (Reuters) - Three British soldiers died in Afghanistan on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defence said. One soldier was killed and six injured by a landmine in southern Afghanistan.

A spokeswoman said five of the injured were in serious condition. The incident took place in the north of Helmand province, where Britain has about 4,000 troops as part of a NATO peace force.

A second soldier was killed in another clash in the province.

The third fatality was a soldier who had been wounded in a previous clash last Friday and later died of his injuries.

That's 19 so far this month, plus 2 more in Iraq. :(
