| * SAS trooper Sean McCarthy, 25, killed * Two other Australians injured in attack * Readers mourn loss of decorated soldier THE Australian soldier killed in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan was a "top bloke" who had been looking forward to returning for his second combat tour of the country, close friends say. SAS Signaller Sean McCarthy, a 25-year-old rugby-mad soldier from the Gold Coast, was killed when a bomb exploded near his vehicle, the Defence department has said. Two other Australian special forces soldiers were injured, along with a soldier from another country. |
