I found this on CNN's website.
I beleive a moment of silence would be appropriate.

**********************************
Gurkhas killed clearing ammunition
**********************************
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of ethnic Albanians were returning to the
homes they abandoned despite pleas from international officials to wait until
mines and booby traps have been removed.

Mines are a very real problem in Kosovo -- a land mine or booby trap claimed the lives of two British soldiers Monday, NATO's first casualties since the peacekeepers entered Kosovo just over a week ago.

The soldiers, both Nepalese Gurkhas, among the toughest in the British army, were killed
while clearing ammunition from a school near the village of Negrovce, about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Pristina. The blast also killed two civilians and injured another. But the refugees continued to stream back into the province.
 
It is sad news and there will be a couple of families back in Nepal tonight who will be very sad, indeed.

These men are due great honor and respect for paying the price of peace. It is a sad event when good men fall never to rise again. I hope some type of remembrance is carried out for these men. It's not much condolence, but they deserve something.
 
Pakcik Bill;
I share the sad news with you ~ what will happened to those couple of families back in Nepal who lose their bread winner ?

A couple of months a go I saw pix of a couple of ethnic Albanian whole families being killed (massaccared ?) by Serb ! Bodies of man, women, childs laying dead defenceless ~ Pakcik Bill, I believe that people like you, myself & others with hearts can hear their cries & screams !
 
These are things I do not allow myself to dwell on because if I did I would either go completely insane, more than I am already, or I would commit suicide.
