Two Canadian soldiers die after LAV hits landmine

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - The Canadian death toll in Afghanistan has risen by two.

Col. Christian Juneau said Corp. Nicolas Raymond Beauchamp of the 5th Field Ambulance in Valcartier and Pte. Michel Levesque of the Royal 22nd died early this morning.

They were riding in a Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) that hit an IED (improvised explosive device) on a road north of a Canadian forward operating base near Bazar-e Panjwaii.

An Afghan interpreter also died in the blast.

Three Canadian soldiers were transported to hospital at Kandahar Air Field with non-life threatening injuries.
RIP.
