Serviceman killed in Afghanistan

A British serviceman has been killed and two others
injured in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, the
Ministry of Defence has said.

The three had been returning from operations when
their vehicle was caught in a blast north of Sangin,

It came as the defence secretary visited Afghanistan
