Soldier to be repatriated today (From Swindon Advertiser): "body of a British Army paratrooper killed in an apparent friendly-fire incident in Afghanistan will be repatriated through Wootton Bassett today.
New Zealander Private John 'Jack' Howard died while on patrol in Helmand Province on December 5.
Pte Howard, 23, from the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was serving with 16 Air Assault Brigade's Reconnaissance Force on his second tour in Afghanistan.
He was on a patrol six miles south-west of the provincial capital of Helmand Province, Laskar Gah, when he was fatally wounded.
Initial reports suggested he could have been hit by cannon fire from a low-flying US plane, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
The MoD has launched a full investigation into the incident, which military experts suggested could have been a case of 'misidentification'."
