Did I know that US soldiers have died in Pakistan and Uzbekistan?

I knew that US military was acting in advisory roles in Pakistan, but I wasn't aware of fatalities. (And in Uzbekistan...?)
As of Friday, May 2, 2008, at least 425 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to the Defense Department.....

Outside the Afghan region, the Defense Department reports 64 more members of the U.S. military died in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Of those, two were the result of hostile action. The military lists these other locations as Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba; Djibouti; Eritrea; Ethiopia; Jordan; Kenya; Kyrgyzstan; Philippines; Seychelles; Sudan; Tajikistan; Turkey; and Yemen.


(Includes accidents/non-combat fatalities.)
