Danish soldier dies from Afghan bomb wounds  
 
  
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK: A Danish soldier seriously wounded in a bomb explosion in 
Afghanistan in late October died on Wednesday, the Danish armed forces 
announced.

Rune Westy Zacharias Nielsen, 22, was on foot patrol when the blast occurred 
near his unit's Barakzai base, in southern Helmand province, where Taliban 
insurgents are active.

His death brought to 27 the number of Danish troops killed since international 
forces deployed in Afghanistan in late 2001 in the aftermath of the September 
11 attacks in the United States.
 
More than 700 Danish soldiers are taking part in NATO's International Security 
Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Most of them are under British command.
