Canada's Dark Day in Afghanistan

4 Canadian soldiers and 1 Canadian journalist were killed in Afghanistan due to bombing yesterday. The names of the soldiers are not being released until all family members have been contacted. The journalist, 34 year old Michelle Lang, was in Afghanistan on a six week assignment. She is the first Canadian journalist to be killed since Canada began sending troops in 2002.

Former Free Press editor Cam McAlpine, who worked with Lang in Prince George, said she was a terrific reporter.
