A Canadian soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in the northern part of Afghanistan's Kandahar province early Wednesday, say military officials.
The soldier was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near the armoured vehicle he was travelling in. Three other soldiers were injured in the incident in the Shah Wali Kowt district, about 35 kilometres north of Kandahar City.
Trooper Brian Richard Good, 42, was a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, serving with the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment and stationed at the eastern Ontario Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.
