Description: "03/05/2006: A man attacked a Canadian soldier with an axe as he attended a meeting of tribal leaders in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The soldier, who had just removed his helmet as a mark of respect, was struck repeatedly by an attacker who was reportedly not a member of the tribal council. The Canadian soldier is in a critical condition. Other Canadian soldiers at the meeting opened fire and killed the assailant. The soldier was named by the BBC as Lieutenant Trevor Greene, who was addressing a village council in Shinkay, 70km from Kandahar, when he was attacked. He has been airlifted to a hospital in Germany. The Canadian military said it was standard procedure for soldiers to remove their headgear when attending a Shura council."
