LONDON, July 27 (Reuters) - Two more British soldiers died in explosions in southern Afghanistan on Monday, bringing the total killed in the bloodiest month for British soldiers in the campaign to 22, the Ministry of Defence said. One soldier was killed when a vehicle taking part in "Panther's Claw", an operation against Taliban insurgents in the southern province of Helmand, was hit by an explosion, the ministry said in a statement. A second soldier was killed by an explosion while on foot patrol in the Sangin district of Helmand, it said. He was not involved in "Panther's Claw". Britain earlier announced the end of the five-week "Panther's Claw" offensive, saying it had succeeded in driving militants out of population centres ahead of Afghan elections next month. |

Hi SKPCG I suppose it is easy to forget the British troops as they are so small in comparison with the US troops and maybe it is also because our tv channels are not widely broadcaster in the US?
