DOVER, Del. (AP) – The remains of a 33-year-old American soldier killed in combat in Afghanistan have been returned to the United States, arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Sgt. 1st Class Michael Goble of Washington Township, New Jersey, was killed Monday in a roadside bombing in northern Kunduz province. Multiple U.S. officials attended on Wednesday what the military calls a dignified transfer in which the cases containing the remains are transferred to a vehicle from the aircraft that ferried them to the United States.
