antonborisovВеликобритания несет ощутимые потери в Афганистане.

Two British soldiers have been shot dead in Afghanistan while trying to rescue a wounded colleague.

One was from The Royal Dragoon Guards and the other from 1st Battalion Scots Guards. Their families have been told.

The number killed in the first half of this year was double that in the first half of 2009.
