MEDIA STATEMENT
Labour expresses sympathies to families
of soldiers killed in Afghanistan
Labour
Leader David Shearer has offered his condolences to the
families and loved ones of the two New Zealand soldiers
killed in Afghanistan.
“I know their loss will be
felt by their colleagues, and even more deeply by their
grieving families and many friends.
“These two
young men died doing their duty for New Zealand. Along with
other members of the provincial reconstruction team they
were working to bring peace to a hugely troubled
area.
“Our thoughts and sympathies are with their
families, and with those of the six injured personnel, at
this very sad and tragic time,” said David
Shearer.
