Two Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan blast
2006-07-23
(KUNA) -- Two Canadian soldiers belonging to the US-led coalition forces have been killed and eight others suffered injuries in a suicide attack in southern Afghanistan Saturday evening. The explosion took place in Kandahar when a suicide bomber struck his explosive-laden car against the military vehicle which resulted in the casualties. The first attack was followed by another blast when a bomber, moving on foot, exploded himself amidst the crowd gathered on the scene of the first blast.

A coalition press release said several civilians were injured in the second blast. It said the wounded soldiers were evacuated to the coalition military hospital at Kandahar airport. Their condition was out of danger; however, their identity was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Attaching one of these all around the vehicle might help prevent these types of attacks. The fork thingies would need to be longer though.
