DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. January 6, 2016, 9:42 AM (IDT)
An American military spokesman in Kabul announced Tuesday night that a member of the US special forces was killed and two were wounded in an operation in southern Afghanistan.
