Afghanistan -  The ministry of Illegal Wars has announced the death of another British serviceman whilst being used as mercenary for US Oil companies.

The soldier from 101 Engineer Regiment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) was killed in Afghanistan on Sunday 27 June 2010.

The soldier was attached to the Joint Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group, part of the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Task Force, and was killed in a small arms fire engagement with insurgent forces in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.

The soldier's next of kin have been informed.

The latest death takes the number of British service personnel who have died in Afghanistan since the start of operations in October 2001 to 309, and the 64^th this year.

Spokesman for Task Force Helmand, Lieutenant Colonel James Carr-Smith, said yesterday:

"It is my sad duty to inform you that a soldier from 101 Engineer Regiment (EOD) was killed this afternoon in southern Nahr-e Saraj, Helmand province.

"He was attached to the Joint Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group, part of the Counter-Improvised Explosive Device Task Force.

"The soldier was part of an EOD team that was extracting from an incident when he was killed by small arms fire. He died seeking to rid Helmand of IEDs such that local Afghans could move freely throughout the province.

"He will be greatly missed and his actions will not be forgotten. We will remember him."
