Good news still not factored into the market: Graves of bin Laden bodyguards found, say Cdn. soldiers cbc.ca TORA BORA, AFGHANISTAN-- Canadian soldiers began returning to a base in northern Afghanistan Tuesday after discovering what could be the graves of Osama bin Laden's bodyguards. Canadian soldiers return from the operation The soldiers from Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, along with U.S. special forces took part in a three-day mission in the Tora Bora region. They were searching for the remains of the suspected terrorist leader bin Laden. "Our mission was to conduct sensitive site exploitation and to destroy underground facilities in mountainous eastern Afghanistan in order to deny al-Qaeda access to to the area," said Lieut. Luc Charron. "The mission was a success." Among the troops who took part in the operation were members of Alpha Company, the unit that lost four soldiers last month when a U.S. pilot mistakenly bombed them during a training exercise. They took DNA samples from about 25 bodies before returning them to their graves in the village of Ali Khayle. The men, thought to be bin Laden's personal guard, were likely killed during U.S. air strikes in December. At one point, soldiers believed a particularly ornate grave contained bin Laden's body, but that turned out to be false. Villagers say bin Laden had been in the area, but he left by helicopter in December. He likely flew to Pakistan. The Canadians were taking part in Operation Torii, under the umbrella of the U.S. Operation Mountain Lion. Written by CBC News Online staff **************** Best Regards, J.T.
