Special Operations Task Group soldier killed
23 November - An Australian Commando serving with the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) in Afghanistan was killed earlier today by Taliban extremists.
Private Luke Worsley, 26 years of age from Sydney, was killed by small arms fire at about 7:30 this morning, Canberra time, while participating in a planned and deliberate attack by our forces against Taliban leaders and their supporters in Oruzgan Province.
Defence is providing assistance to the family and will continue to support them through this very difficult time.
“This is a tragic day for the Australian Defence Force and most especially for Private Worsley’s family and friends. I extend my deepest sympathies to them on behalf of all members of the Defence Organisation," Chief of Defence Force Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said.



Rest In Peace Digger, you've done Australia and your mates proud.




Note: This is the third Aussie killed in Afghanistan in 2 months... not good. The ADF isn't used to having our diggers killed. Wounded regularly, but not killed.
