The Pentagon says an Army soldier who was injured Nov. 12 in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan died Tuesday at a Maryland hospital.
Sgt. First Class Allan E. Brown, 46, of Takoma Park, Md., died Dec. 6 at Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., the Defense Department said in a news release. Brown had been serving in Operation Freedom’s Sentinel and was wounded in Bagram, Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device went off.
Two other service members died in the explosion. Sgt. John W. Perry, 30, of Stockton, Calif. and Pfc. Tyler R. Iubelt, 20, of Tamaroa, Ill. both died Nov. 12. In addition, two U.S. contractors were killed in the bombing and 16 U.S. troops and one Polish soldier were wounded.
Like Perry and Iubelt, Brown had been assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st Sustainment Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.
