Sergeant from Philadelphia among 6 killed in Afghanistan
The Afghan Ministry of Interior confirmed Tuesday that British troops had arrived at Camp Shorabak, formally the U.S. Two senior defense officials told USA Today, this was the largest US loss of life from an attack this year.
Border Police shot the assailants, according to Israel Police, which said one died at the scene and the other at a Jerusalem hospital.

A court official said security had been stepped up outside the home of a judge presiding over the case, and postings on social media, including a photograph of the jurist emblazoned with the word “guilty”, accused him of failing to stop Shin Bet mistreatment of the suspects. Some have claimed that Israel’s Shin Bet security service has tortured them to exact a confession for an attack that was deeply embarrassing for Israel.
