Larry Celona and Natalie Musumeci at the New York Post report on the death of a NYPD detective who was killed in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber.
An NYPD detective nicknamed “Superman” by his fellow cops was one of six US troops killed Monday in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan, where he was serving in the Air National Guard.
Detective Joseph Lemm, 45, of the Bronx Warrant Squad was killed when a bomb-laden Taliban assassin on a motorcycle targeted a joint American-Afghan patrol near a major US air base.

Tim,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if it is that the other victims are less significant, but more that Lemm's story is more compelling and tragic.
Thanks for writing,
