Agence France-Presse December 24, 2009 Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan: NATO KABUL: A Canadian soldier serving under NATO has died from a roadside bomb in Taliban-plagued southern Afghanistan, the alliance said Thursday. NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) did not give an exact location for Wednesday's death of Lieutenant Andrew Nuttal.... Most of the 2,800 Canadian troops are deployed in southern Kandahar province, a hotbed of the insurgency. The Canadian soldier's death took this year's international military casualties in Afghanistan to 503, according to an AFP tally based on independent website icasualties.org, which tracks military deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq. This year has been the deadliest since the 2001 US-led invasion, backed by most NATO-member countries, ousted the Taliban from government. There are more than 110,000 international troops stationed in Afghanistan.... The United States and NATO are to boost their military presence by another 40,000 troops next year in a bid to defeat the Taliban. But Canada has said it will withdraw its troops at the end of 2011, as scheduled. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
