The winter months here in Afghanistan have been pretty call. Roadside and suicide bombings have been sporadic taking lives from time to time. But with the warmer weather in recent days the insurgents have really stepped up their attacks. This has me extremely concerned for my teams scattered across the countryside. Everyone was recently here at headquarters and I had a talk with them urging them to keep their eyes open at all times.
I would really appreciate everyone's prayers for not just my photographers, but all troops serving here in Afghanistan. Below is just one of several news releases ISAF has put out in recently regarding the death of troops here in country.
NEWS RELEASE
International Security Assistance Force Afghanistan Committed to the security, reconstruction and extension of governance in Afghanistan
Four ISAF service members killed in eastern Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan
(March 15) — Two International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members were killed and two died of wounds after an Improvised Explosive Device attack today in eastern Afghanistan.
“On behalf of ISAF, I offer our sincere condolences to the families and friends of our fallen soldiers,” said Brigadier-General Richard Blanchette, ISAF Spokesperson. “These dedicated professionals have risked their lives for a safe and stable Afghanistan.”
It is ISAF policy not to release the nationality of any casualty prior to the relevant national authority doing so.
