2006-09-30 |
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A Canadian soldier was killed Friday in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, while an insurgent attack on a police checkpoint left three dead, officials said. The soldier, who was not immediately identified, was killed in southern Kandahar province when he stepped on a roadside bomb while conducting a patrol, said Lt. Carole Brown, a spokeswoman for the Canadian Forces in Ottawa. No other soldiers or civilians were wounded. The explosion comes near the end of Canada's deadliest month in Afghanistan, with 10 soldiers killed. In all, 37 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have died in the country since 2002. |

#2 Yup, I really am about ready to write off West/Central Europe in favor of an Anglosphere, with perhaps honorary membership to the Poles. |

#1 Canada's making sacrifices our German and French "friends" won't. True allies. I suspect this strength of character in their military was there all along...grinding their teeth under the previous admins... |
