| An Australian special forces soldier has been killed in a clash with insurgents, taking the Afghanistan death toll to 18 since 2001 and seven so far this year alone.
Trooper Jason Thomas Brown, 29, a member of the the Perth-based Special Air Service Regiment (SASR), died from multiple gunshot wounds when insurgents opened fire on his patrol.
That occurred early on Saturday morning in northern Kandahar province, a hotspot for fighting and the focus of recent operations by the Australian Special Operations Task Group.
Acting defence force chief Lieutenant General David Hurley said Trooper Brown was participating in an ongoing Australian and Afghan mission to disrupt insurgent activities.
