A Canadian soldier is dead and two others injured after their vehicle struck a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on Monday.
The slain soldier was identified as Trooper Darryl Caswell, 25, of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, based in CFB Petawawa
"A young Canadian, a great Canadian, died serving the people of Afghanistan," Col. Mike Cessford, deputy commander of Canadian forces in Afghanistan, said from Kandahar.
The two wounded soldiers sustained non-life threatening injuries and are receiving medical treatment.
The group was part of a re-supplying mission. Their vehicle triggered the bomb 40 kilometres north of Kandahar City.
Since 2002, 57 Canadian soldiers and one Canadian diplomat have died in Afghanistan.
Before Monday, the last casualty was Master Cpl. Darrell Priede, 30, a military photographer. He died on May 30, when insurgents shot down his helicopter in Helmand province.
