Sunday Mirror's Rupert Hamer killed in Afghan blast

A British journalist has been killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said.

Sunday Mirror defence correspondent Rupert Hamer, 39, was embedded with the US Marine Corps when his vehicle was hit by a bomb near Nawa in Helmand.

The father-of-three's Mirror colleague, photographer Philip Coburn, 43, is in a serious but stable condition.

A US Marine and an Afghan soldier were also killed in the blast on Saturday. Four US Marines were seriously injured.

The journalists had flown to the region on New Year's Eve for a month-long assignment.

It's a blow to balanced reporting of the war for sure. Luckily we still have Ross Kemp.
