In April, 2002, four members of the Princess Patricia Light Infantry were killed and eight injured in a friendly-fire bomb attack by U.S. pilots. The Canadian soldiers were on a training mission near the Afghan city of Kandahar at the time. Days after a military hearing begins in Shreveport, Louisiana, to decide whether the US pilots should stand trial for the deaths of four Canadian soldiers, W-Five broadcasts exclusive interviews with four of the injured Canadian soldiers.
