[The_Mortician]

Canadian soldiers searching for Taliban weapons were suddenly called away to help comrades a few hundred metres away in a scene captured on newly released video showing the aftermath of Friday's deadly bombing west of Kandahar city.

The explosion killed Master Corporal Scott Vernelli, 28, and Cpl. Tyler Crooks, 24, of the Royal Canadian Regiment, along with an Afghan interpreter. More.. Five other Canadians were wounded.

The improvised explosive device (IED) went off shortly after 6 a.m. as they were ending foot patrol duty. They planned to rest and talk with village elders, 40 kilometres west of Kandahar city. It's believed one of the soldiers set off the IED when he stood up.

I believe the IED is the most coward way of killing people.
Guys need to grow some balls and go face to face.

It's actually a very good way of combat, the chances of you getting killed while using it are very low, and you can make sure that you explode the enemy and not a civi, unlike the U.S/Israeli army who just bomb buildings and people at night without knowing for sure that its really enemies there targeting. IEDs were also used against the British while they were at war with America.
