Afghan Officials: U.S. Drone Strike Killed 5 in Kunar

HeadlineJan 07, 2016

Afghan officials say a U.S. drone strike killed at least five people on Saturday in the eastern province of Kunar. This comes as the U.S. military has disclosed the name of the Army Special Forces soldier who was killed in Helmand province earlier this week. Thirty-year-old Matthew McClintock of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was killed Tuesday during a U.S.-Afghan operation in the city of Marjah. McClintock is the first U.S. soldier to die in Afghanistan in 2016. He leaves behind a wife and infant son.
