Australian dies from land mine
Australia has suffered its first casualty in the war on terror, with a special forces soldier killed by a landmine in Afghanistan. The soldier, a member of the Perth-based Special Air Service Regiment (SASR), died of injuries he received when his vehicle ran over an anti-tank mine late yesterday. The soldier was apparently the only occupant of the vehicle which was leading a convoy. No-one else was injured.
