ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Pentagon says Fort Bragg soldiers have died in combat in Afghanistan.

Capt. Daniel Whitten of Grimes, Iowa, and Pfc. Zachary G. Lovejoy of Albuquerque, N.M., died of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked their vehicle with an improvised explosive device Feb. 2 in Zabul province.
