Helmand Province

Relatives of the Georgian soldiers recently killed in Afghanistan attend a memorial service during their funeral in the town of Gori, some 80 km outside the capital Tbilisi, on June 13, 2013. Seven Georgian soldiers died and nine more were wounded on June 6 when a suicide bomber blew up a truck loaded with explosives outside their base in perilous Helmand province. The attack claimed by the Taliban came just weeks after three soldiers were killed in a similar bombing, bringing the total number of Georgian dead to 29.
