Three British paratroopers working with the special forces have been killed in Helmand, southern Afghanistan.
The three soldiers were all members of the Special Forces Support Group (SFSG) which was formed to add extra firepower and assault capability to the SAS and the Special Boat Service (SBS).
They were killed when the Jackal armoured vehicle in which they were travelling was hit by a roadside bomb. Another soldier was critically wounded.
