MoD: Deaths of British soldiers not result of friendly fire
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said the deaths of two British soldiers in Afghanistan on Wednesday was caused by a "third party or parties whose identities have yet to be established but who are not UK personnel".
Corporal Channing Day and Corporal David O'Connor were killed during an exchange of gunfire in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand Province.
In a statement, the MoD said it is still investigating the role of a man, believed to be a member of the Afghan Uniformed Police, who also died in the incident.
