A Canadian soldier was killed in southern Afghanistan Tuesday after the heavily armoured vehicle he was travelling in struck a roadside bomb.
Another Canadian soldier was injured by the bomb and was taken to hospital at Kandahar Airfield. He is listed in good condition with minor injuries and is expected to be released later today.
The incident occurred during a routine patrol about 10 kilometres north of Kandahar city, in the Arghandab district.
Canada has about 2,500 troops operating in Kandahar province, one of the most violent regions in the country. Including Tuesday's death, 77 Canadian soldiers have died since 2002, along with a Canadian diplomat.
