Roadside Bomb Claims 6 Canadians
Filed Under: Terrorism, World
Sad news from Afghanistan. Six Canadian soldiers were killed Sunday when a roadside bomb detonated hitting the vehicle they were traveling in.
The Canadian Forces confirmed the deaths Sunday afternoon, and said one other soldier suffered life-threatening injuries.
“It’s been a long day. I have the unfortunate duty of informing you that six Canadian soldiers were killed and two of their comrades were injured today after a roadside bomb exploded near their vehicle,” Col. Mike Cessford, acting commander of the Canadian Forces, told reporters.
Cessford said four other soldiers were evacuated to the NATO medical facility in Kandahar for treatment after the attack.
I think it is important that as we gather around the table for Easter dinner and drinks with family and friends we perhaps take a moment to remember the sacrifices our brave troops are making a long way from home.
