Canadians Stomp Taliban

Ealier today I had this link saying coalition forces stomped 20 Taliban into the ground.

Guardian UK : KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - Coalition forces killed between 15 and 20 militants in fighting over the weekend in the southern Afghan province of Helmand, the U.S. military said Monday.

A coalition patrol on Saturday attacked militants carrying assault rifles and grenade launchers, who were ``moving with the intent to set up an ambush'' in the province's Sangin district, a military statement said.
No coalition forces were hurt, it said.

This afternoon I have more detail, it was the Canadians who spotted and destroyed this Taliban unit.

Reuters :"Our convoy using night-vision optics on their vehicle were able to see three vehicles preparing for an ambush," Canadian spokesman Major Marc Theriault said of the Saturday night clash.

The convoy was travelling to a remote base in the Sangin district of Helmand province when the insurgents were spotted, he said.

Canadian forces attacked and destroyed the three vehicles which contained 15 to 20 insurgents, he said. No Canadians were hurt.

Go Canada and thanks for the help. Can you just imagine the Tailban commander. You mean Candians killed all our men? Surley Allah has forsaken us now. You bet he has Mullah Omar! May you eat hot Canadian lead very soon.

Updated : Canadians targeted by the enemy looking for revenge and thankfully none were injured. The terrorists did manage to murder one innocent old man though. Way to go Taliban murderers of helpless old men. Your cowardly method of attack reaps you shame.

Canada.com :KABUL (CP) - Three Canadian coalition members were hit by an improvised explosive device - or roadside bomb - near Kabul on Tuesday, but escaped without injury, the military said.

The unidentified attacker was driving a white car that exploded about 100 metres from the convoy, spraying shrapnel over a wide distance, Parwani said.

Several reports said Canadian soldiers were also involved in that attack, although none were injured.

Hey I'm not surprised the Canadians are tough. I used to watch the lumberjack competition on ABCWWS.
