Marine dies after Afghanistan blast
Ben Bailey28 May 2009
A Royal Marine died in hospital today from wounds he suffered in a blast in southern Afghanistan, the Ministry of Defence said today.
The serviceman, from the Royal Marine Armoured Support Group, was seriously injured when a blast struck his Viking vehicle near Lashkar Gah in Helmand Province last Friday.
He was brought back to Britain for specialist treatment but died at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham late last night. Next of kin have been informed, but his identity had not been revealed today.

How many of our lads are going to be killed fighting an American sponsored war before the British public cry, enough is enough and demand a withdrawal from a conflict which has nothing to do with us.
