Afghan blast soldiers to be named
Updated on 09 November 2009
Two British soldiers killed in separate blasts in Afghanistan are expected to be named on Monday, as the death toll passed another grim milestone.
A serviceman from 4th Battalion, The Rifles, died in a blast near Sangin in central Helmand Province on Sunday morning. His death followed another explosion in the same area which killed a soldier from the 2nd Battalion, The Rifles on Saturday afternoon. Both the men's families have been informed.
Their deaths brought the number of military personnel killed in action to 201, and the total death toll since the operation began in 2001 to 232.
