One of the servicemen killed in Afghanistan on Monday was a York County Marine, according to reports.

Benjamin Hines, 31, was a 2006 graduate of Dallastown High School, whose death was confirmed to the York Daily Record by his father.

Hines died in a Taliban attack when a roadside bomb hit a convoy near the Bagram Airfield, according to reporting from the AP.

Three servicemen, including Hines and Christopher Slutman from New York, were killed, and one contractor survived.

YDR reports that Slutman also has Pennsylvania ties, as his parents live in Lower Windsor Township.

The third service member had not been identified by military officials as of Tuesday night.

Previously reported by the AP:

In their claim of responsibility, the Taliban said they launched the attack and that one of their suicide bombers detonated his explosives-laden vehicle near the NATO base. The conflicting accounts could not be immediately reconciled.

On Tuesday, local Afghan officials said at least five Afghan civilians were wounded in the commotion after the attack on the American convoy.

Four were passers-by and the fifth was a driver of a car going down the road, said Abdul Raqib Kohistani, the Bagram district police chief. Abdul Shakor Qudosi, the district administrative chief in Bagram, said American soldiers opened fire immediately after their convoy was bombed.

Monday’s U.S. fatalities bring to seven the number of U.S. soldiers killed so far this year in Afghanistan, underscoring the difficulties in bringing peace to the war-wrecked country even as Washington has stepped up efforts to find a way to end the 17-year war, America’s longest.
