KANDAHAR–A Panjwaii district elder is accusing Canadian troops in Afghanistan of leaving behind an unexploded shell that has killed two children in a village set aside for the handicapped.
The explosion today prompted a furious demonstration by dozens of people outside of the provincial council office in Kandahar city.
The blood-spattered bodies of two boys were on display from the open back of a small, wooden taxi as the angry crowd chanted: ``Death to Canadians."
In a statement to the provincial police chief, a villager elder is blaming Canadian troops for the tragedy.
The Canadian military has yet to formally respond to the allegations.
The blast apparently occurred at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Village – named for its founder, the ruler of Dubai – about 15 kilometres outside the city.
