A special operations force soldier was killed in Afghanistan on Friday when the vehicle he was driving was hit by a roadside bomb, the U.S. military said. U.S. Central Command said in a statement the attack was near Asadabad, in eastern Afghanistan. It gave no more details. Afghan and U.S. forces are scouring mountains and villages in that part of the country as part of a new operation against militants called “Mountain Resolve,” villagers reported.
