ROBERTSON COMMENTS AS AFGHAN DEATH TOLL RISES

Commenting as the number of UK service personnel killed as a result of
the Afghanistan conflict since 2001 reached 300, SNP Westminster
leader and Defence spokesperson Angus Robertson MP said:

“Each and every one of these deaths is equally painful and this tragic
milestone underlines the incredible dedication and sacrifice of our
forces.

“As people reflect on the human cost of the war in Afghanistan there
are obvious questions which must be addressed by the government about
whether the right strategy is being pursued and is achievable.”
