For what it's worth.

| KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - Military police attempted late Monday to piece together events that led to the shooting of an Afghan soldier by Canadian troops guarding a disabled patrol vehicle - an event that has put further strain on the allies. |

| What is perplexing military authorities is not only the fact that the Canadians fired on uniformed allies in a marked convoy, but that the Afghans had been waived through an initial roadblock manned by Canadian troops in a LAV III armoured fighting vehicle. The incident took place at a so-called inner security cordon, which had been set up around a disabled Nyala. |

| Kandahar residents have said in recent interviews that the regular spate of shootings was their biggest complaint about Canadians, whom they consider to have an even quicker trigger finger than Americans. |
