Body of Missing U.S. Commando Found in Afghanistan; Military Says He Died Fighting

The body of a missing U.S. commando has been located in eastern Afghanistan, the military said Monday, bringing an end to the desperate search for the last member of an ill-fated, four-man special forces unit that disappeared last month. One of the four men was rescued on July 3, and the other two were found dead the next day. The body of the fourth U.S. Navy SEAL was found Sunday in Kunar province by a search and rescue team, the military said in a statement. It said all indications are that he died in fighting; a purported Taliban spokesman had claimed that he was captured alive and beheaded."The location and disposition of the service member's remains indicate he died while fighting off enemy terrorists on or about June 28," the statement said.
