The Korea Times -- Tens of thousands of people made visits to express condolences to the late Staff Sgt. Yoon Jang-ho on Friday when his body arrived at a military hospital in Kyonggi Province after being airlifted from Afghanistan where he was killed Tuesday in a suicide bombing.

The 27-year-old soldier's body was transferred from the Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan to a U.S. airbase at the International Kuwait Airport on a U.S. transport plane on Wednesday night.

An Asiana Airlines' charter flight carried the body from Kuwait to Korea together with some 300 Zaytun troops who returned home after completing their tour in Iraq.
