A
roadside bomb killed four soldiers in southern Afghanistan on
Saturday in the deadliest attack on Canadian forces in four
years.
The soldiers were travelling in an
armoured vehicle called a G-wagon when it was blown onto its
side by an improvised explosive device, 70 kilometres north of
Kandahar city, around 7:30 a.m. local time Saturday.
Three of the men died at the scene, near
Gumbad, a small outpost established by the Canadians two months
ago. The fourth died shortly after being transported by
helicopter to the hospital at the coalition air base in
Kandahar.
The Defence Department has identified the
Canadians:
Cpl. Matthew Dinning, born in Richmond
Hill, Ont., and stationed at Petawawa, Ont.
Lieut. William Turner, born in Toronto
and stationed at Edmonton,
Bombardier Myles Mansell, born in
Victoria, B.C., and stationed at Victoria.
Cpl. Randy Payne, stationed in
Wainwright, Alta.
The four soldiers were in a jeep that was
part of a mixed convoy made up of more heavily armoured
vehicles, such as LAVs and Bisons.
