KABUL, Dec 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – An American service member was killed in
action in Afghanistan on Monday, US officials said.
US Forces-Afghanistan did not immediately release any additional
information, pending notification of the victim’s next of kin.
The death comes as the United States and the Taliban try to reach an
agreement for a US troop withdrawal. Talks were thrown off track in September
after the Taliban killed an American soldier in Kabul.
