A member of the U.S. special operations team known as SEAL Team Six—the same elite unit that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011—was killed last weekend in a rescue operation in Afghanistan that freed an American doctor held hostage by the Taliban. On the night of December 8, during a helicopter assault on a mountain hideout 50 miles from the Pakistani border, a firefight between U.S. and Taliban forces killed 28-year-old Petty Officer First Class Nicolas Checque of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, along with seven Taliban, who had been armed with machine guns, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and AK-47s. Private Checque was a highly decorated combat veteran who enlisted in 2002, served in Iraq and received multiple commendations, including the Bronze Star Medal.
