(KCEN) -- A U.S. Navy Seal killed during a rescue mission in Afghanistan on Sunday has been identified by the Pentagon.

Nicolas Checque died while rescuing an American doctor being held by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Doctor Dilip Joseph and several members of his team were abducted just days before the mission.

Checque was a member of the Navy's elite Seal Team Six, the same unit that killed Osama Bin Laden.
