| A Canadian soldier was killed in a mortar attack while repairing a tank in the northern part of Panjwayi in Afghanistan, Canada's defense ministry said Tuesday. One other soldier was wounded in the blast, while three soldiers were wounded in a subsequent firefight with insurgents when they tried to come to the aid of their comrades, Brigadier-General Guy Laroche said in a televised briefing from Kandahar. Hornburg had been trying to repair a broken tread on a Leopard tank when he was killed. Three of the wounded were hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, Laroche said. The wounded soldiers are in stable condition, the ministry said. |

| #1 RIP - the Canucks are punching back towards their weight class and for good reasons - the political change needs to continue to support these sacrifices by the good Canuck military personnel.... |
