| US soldier killed in ambush, one attacker shot dead |
| 2002-05-20 |
| A US special forces soldier killed in eastern Afghanistan was shot dead in an ambush by suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban forces. Major Bryan Hilferty refused to identify the soldier, who is understood to be the first special forces member to be killed in combat here since the massive Operation Anaconda which ended in March. "We returned fire, killing one enemy. Unfortunately one American was killed and one of our Afghan allies was wounded." RIP, Brother. |
