The Pentagon on Friday identified the two soldiers killed earlier this week by a man dressed in an Afghan army uniform.
Army Sgt. Joshua A. Born, 25, of Niceville, Fla., and Army Cpl. Timothy J. Conrad Jr., 22, of Roanoke, Va., were killed Thursday in Nangarhar province of wounds suffered “when their unit came under small arms fire,” the Defense Department said. Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Nangarhar on Thursday, and a provincial official said the soldiers were shot by an Afghan soldier after soldiers fired in the air to disperse protesters outside a U.S. base in the Khogyani district.
The soldiers were assigned to the 385th Military Police Battalion, 16th Military Police Brigade (Airborne), XVIII Airborne Corps, out of Fort Stewart, Ga.
