Soldier From Immokalee Killed In Afghanistan
IMMOKALEE (CBS4) - A soldier from South Florida was killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan.
Sgt. Linda Pierre of Immokalee was one of five U.S. soldiers killed last weekend when an Afghan solider working as a Taliban sleeper agent set off multiple grenades. Pierre was assigned to Fort Campbell, Ky. The 28-year-old was deployed late last year for her first tour overseas.
Pierre was not the only soldier in her family. One of Pierre's brothers is scheduled to be deployed with the Army after serving five tours overseas with the Marines.
