| 2009-09-17 |
| Private Jonathan Couturier, 23, is dead and 11 others were wounded in attack on armoured vehicle in Afghanistan. A Canadian soldier known as the little brother of his military section lost his life Thursday when a roadside bomb exploded as he and his comrades were returning home from a mission southwest of Kandahar City. Twelve troops were wounded when the armoured vehicle in which they were riding was rocked by the bomb. Only Private Jonathan Couturier, 23, succumbed to his injuries. The explosion occurred less than two hours before a suicide bomber rammed a convoy of vehicles in the capital city of Kabul, killing six Italian soldiers and 10 civilians. |
