Five Canadians — a reporter and four soldiers — were killed yesterday when their armored vehicle hit a bomb in southern Afghanistan, officials said.
Journalist Michelle Lang (pictured), 34, of the Calgary Herald, was embedded with a unit that was conducting a community-security patrol to gather information about how to maintain safety, said Brig. Gen. Daniel Menard, commander of coalition forces in Kandahar.
She had been in the country since Dec. 11.
