Ambush in Afghanistan
From the Toronto Star
A Canadian civil affairs officer came in peace yesterday to a destitute Afghan village, removing his helmet and laying his weapon on the ground. He sat cross-legged with tribal elders and produced a notepad, into which he began to faithfully record the people's needs.
From behind, a young man stepped forward suddenly from among the crowd of villagers and raised an axe above his head. With a single cry of "Allahu Akbar," he swung the blade into the top of the Canadian officer's head.
Lieut. Trevor Greene, a Vancouver resident serving in the Canadian Forces' Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC) unit was in critical condition last night, en route to Germany, where a team of neurologists waited to assess the extent of brain damage. His vital signs were said to be satisfactory and he was breathing without assistance...
The author of Bad Date, an investigation of the disappearance of prostitutes in Vancouver, and Bridge of Tears, a book on the homeless of Japan that was short-listed for a book prize in Japan, Greene worked as a journalist in Asia and Canada before joining the navy in 1995 and three years later transferring to the army reserve.
Allah sure is great when his followers pull shit like this.
