American Member of Security Watchdog Group Killed in Ukraine

by Phil McCausland and Reuters

A U.S. member of European security watchdog OSCE's monitoring mission in eastern Ukraine was killed and two other people were injured after their vehicle drove over a mine near Luhansk, U.S. and European officials confirmed Sunday.

The American was killed — the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's first casualty ever — and a German woman was injured Sunday morning, a spokesman for Austria's Foreign Ministry said. One other person was injured; his or her identity was unknown.

The U.S. State Department confirmed the report, saying it was "shocked and deeply saddened" by the death of the American, whom it described as a paramedic.

Those Russian-backed "rebels" will even shoot down airliners. Not really a surprise they'd kill foreigners.
