The soldiers were conducting security operations in the Sha Wali Kot District when the explosion occurred at about 1:15 p.m. local time on Sunday, the military said.
Trooper Marc Diab, 22, from the Royal Canadian Dragoons was killed. He was serving as a member of the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group, which is based in Petawawa, Ont., the military said.
Has anyone noticed that the Canadian Forces are utterly incapable of detecting roadside bombs (except the ones the [s]Taliban[/s] villagers tell them about)?
Get them out of there before this affair turns from tragedy to farce.
