Default Re: AFGHANISTAN: from the front

Canadian news networks are reporting the deaths of 4 Canadian soldiers and 1 journalist. I think the number of journalists killed in 2009 is about 100. I just saw this article though, which has a bit more detail, i.e. 8 CIA agents were also killed. There was nothing about it in Canadian news.

8 US CIA Agents, 5 Canadians Killed in Afghanistan
Forward Operating Base "Gym" Actually a CIA Surveillance Center
by Jason Ditz, December 30, 2009

More details have emerged in this morning’s perplexing story, in which a suicide bomber attacked what officials called a “gym” on a military base in Khost Province, killing eight Americans the military identified as “civilians.”

...Moreover, the “gym” at the Forward Operating Base was actually being used as a CIA “operations and surveillance center,” explaining the conspicuous lack of military personnel harmed in the attack.
