Canadian Among 18 Dead In Kabul Suicide Attack
Tue.
May. 18 2010 12:35 AM ET
A
member of the Canadian Forces has died after a car bomber attacked a
NATO convoy in Kabul on Tuesday.
Killed in action was
Colonel Geoff Parker from the Royal Canadian Regiment, working at
Land Force Central Area Headquarters. At the time of his death,
Colonel Parker was in Kabul as part of a NATO team preparing for
their upcoming mission.
The Canadian soldier
was one of 18 victims, which also included five U.S. troops and 12
civilians. Forty-seven others were injured.
Afghan President Hamid
Karzai said "there were casualties among the NATO forces as well as
among civilians -- women, children and schoolchildren."
The deadly blast
wrecked nearly 20 vehicles, including five SUVs in the NATO convoy.
Condemning the attack,
NATO Secretary-General Andres Fogh Rasmussen said the violence would
not deter members from their mission.
Our thoughts and
prayers are with the family and friends of our fallen Canadian
comrade during this sad time. The commitment and sacrifice of our
soldiers and their loved ones are helping to make a difference in
the lives of the people of Kandahar Province.

Dutch
Pay Tribute to Canadian Liberators
Thursday, May 6, 2010 | 9:09 AM ET
By The Canadian Press
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Netherlands - The Dutch prime minister paid
a moving tribute to the Canadian liberators of Holland in a ceremony
with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a clutch of Canadian
veterans.
Jan Pieter Balkenende summoned the memory of a 17-year-old
private from Vancouver who gave his life in 1944 during the battle
that opened the port of Antwerp and the path to allied victory.
The Dutch leader said the almost 1,000 Canadians buried at a
military cemetery near the Dutch-Belgium border died in the
"grimmest, fiercest, most savage battle fought by the Canadian army
in the Second World War."
Harper, speaking a day after Holland celebrated the 65th
anniversary of its liberation, said the men and women who fought for
the country "gave birth to greatness."
He said the living owe it to the dead to live as nobly as
they died.
The ceremony was held at Bergen op Zoom
military cemetery, where 968 Canadians killed in the war are buried.
