I really, really hope this is not correct (even though the reporter IS in theatre) - shared in accordance with the "fair dealing" provisions, Section 29, of the Copyright Act - http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/info/act-e.html#rid-33409

Ethan Baron, CanWest News Service, 22 Jul 06
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Two Canadian soldiers were killed and eight others injured Saturday, at least one seriously when a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into a coalition vehicle in Kandahar City.
Eight Afghan civilians were also wounded in the blast.
Military officials have not yet released the names of the dead and injured.
"I can confirm that two coalition soldiers were killed and eight wounded in the suicide attack," said coalition spokesman Major Scott Lundy.
Canada has about 2,300 troops in Afghanistan, most in the Kandahar area. Before Saturday, 17 Canadian soldiers and a Canadian diplomat had been killed in Afghanistan since the first battle group was sent to the country in February 2002.

http://www.cbc.ca/news still has nothing on this. Here's hoping that the ctv.ca site is in error. Regardless of nationality, my thoughts are still with the dead and injured, and especially their families. Irrespective of nationality, two more soldiers will be heading home too soon.

Suicide attack kills Canadians
Bomber rammed vehicle into convoy in Kandahar City
Second suicide attack targeted civilians
Jul. 22, 2006. 03:20 PM
CANADIAN PRESS
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Two Canadian soldiers are among those killed in two horrific suicide attacks today in Afghanistan.
Eight other soldiers — all Canadians — were injured in the first attack, about 5:30 p.m. local time in Kandahar, when the bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into their vehicle.
It is by far the largest single-day number of casualties Canada has suffered in Afghanistan.
In a second bloody attack about an hour after the first, seven Afghan civilians were killed and another 30 were injured. Both bombers died in the explosions.
Afghan government and Canadian military officials say the second attacker was on foot.
The attacks took place just as Canadian combat troops were returning from more than two weeks of exhaustive fighting west of Kandahar.
