OTTAWA (AP) - A Canadian soldier in Afghanistan's Kandahar province was killed Friday when his armored vehicle struck a roadside bomb seconds after the senior commander of coalition forces in the province narrowly missed the same explosive device.
Canadian Brig.-Gen. Jonathan Vance said his vehicle passed over the bomb. But the light armored vehicle in which Cpl. Nicholas Bulger was traveling set it off, killing the 30-year-old soldier.
Five other soldiers were hurt in the incident; Vance escaped unscathed. The injured soldiers were reported to be in good condition.
