Two More Dead in Afghanistan
| 4/11/2007 | Posted by Patti under Afghanistan |
As the plane carrying the bodies of six Canadians killed just three days ago touches down in Trenton, Ontario (just east of me) details are just starting to come out of Afghanistan of two more Canadians have been killed. The soldier’s unit is based in Petewawa but no other details are yet available.
Canadians came under three separate attacks today. The first injured 10 Afghan civilians when a roadside bomb detonated. Later in the day a second bomb seriously injured a Canadian soldier about 38kms from the base. Shortly after, about a kilometer away, a third bomb killed the two Canadians.
As I look up from writing this I see a clip of 6 hearses sitting on the tarmac at Trenton. Later this evening, a convoy of those 6 hearses and 6 limos under police escort will be wisked along Highway 401 towards Toronto. On some overpasses Canadians will stand, paying silent tribute to the bravery of 6 young Canadians as they pass by.
