Canadian soldier killed

Master Corporal Erin Doyle, a member of the 3rd Battallion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based in Edmonton, died early Monday morning when Taliban insurgents attacked the combat outpost west of Kandahar city where he was stationed.

The assault was returned with artillery fire from the outpost and air support was called in. Military officials say the roughly six to 10 insurgents involved in the attack were either killed or wounded.

He will be remembered.
