((Sergeant, first Class Nathan Ross Chapman was on a mission of advising and training local Afghan forces.
Instead, gun fire was exchanged, killing the soldier from San Antonio Texas... and wounding a CIA agent.
Gen. Tommy Franks, Central Command:
"This American serviceman was doing his job. He was out for the purpose of working with and coordinating with tribal leaders in that area."
The gun battle happened near the town of gardiz
it is the same area where for two days American F-18s and heavy bombers have pounded a known al queda compound.
although several u-s soldiers have been killed during this campaign... this is the first by 'enemy fire'.
The CIA officer is expected to survive.
It was back in November when another CIA operative, Mike Spann, was killed when al-Qaida prisoners revolted at a prison in Mazar-e-Sharif.
Franks: I am mindful... important campaign.
Meanwhile the search for Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar intensifies.
The intelligence chief for Kandahar tells CBS News that Omar has been wounded and that local intelligence teams will soon capture him.

And Pakistan could soon be turning over a top taliban leader.
A defense official says the country has agreed to turn over the former taliban ambassador to Pakistan.
U-S officials say that Pakistan has also handed over an al-Qaida member who ran bin Laden's training camps in Afghanistan.
