Three of the deceased are thought to be Afghan soldiers while five of them are British. This incident took place in Helmond province of Afghanistan where most of the British soldiers had been deployed and was being considered a stronghold of Taliban and center of poppy cultivation. Several British soldiers have been killed in this area. Once they withdrew after concluding a contract with them.
