Canada recalls its troops from Afghanistan

Ottawa, Canada

According to the Canadian defense minister, Art Eggleton, Canada will recall its troops from Afghanistan, for a total of 850 men, in the month of August. Eggleton said that this decision is not linked to the accident of the last month, in which a U.S. F-16 killed four Canadian soldiers, dropping erroneously a laser guided bomb during a practice.
