Elite troops bound for Afghanistan

[enigma000]

The Canadian Forces is sending up to 100 commandos from its elite Joint Task Force 2 to Afghanistan this month, the largest contingent of special forces Canada has ever sent overseas, the National Post has learned.

Between 75 and 100 soldiers of JTF-2 will arrive just ahead of a 2,000-member Canadian battle group that is deploying to the restive southern province of Kandahar amid growing warnings of high casualties and a looming enemy offensive in the region.

1. Hmmm, the link isn't working

Here is one that works. At first I thought the DOD had asked the article to be pulled but found it on the National Post site:

Edited to add workable link and correct my post re DOD.
