Two Canadian soldiers, along with a British soldier, have been killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Brigadier-General Jonathan Vance identified the Canadians as 38-year-old Master Corporal Pat Audet and 25-year-old Corporal Martin Joannette. Vance says the incident was not related to insurgent activity.
The latest deaths bring to 124 the number of Canadian soldiers who have died as part of the Afghan mission since 2002.
