    NOTES:
    (1) Previous Taliban references to number of crew members in Canadian “tanks” have ranged from four to six. Therefore,
    any reference to “all on board” allegedly being killed will be counted as an average of five.

    (2) “75 year old kills 6 Canadian invaders,” Voice of Jihad web page, accessed 6 Nov 10 at
    http://212.7.195.26/~alemarah/english/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2871:kandahar-75-year-old-kills-

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/41269952/KANDAHAR-75-year-old-kills-6-Canadian-invaders ): “Saturday, 06 November
    2010 05:42 Qari Yousuf Ahmadi - KANDAHAR, Nov. 06 – Reports from Shah Wali Kot district say that Wali Muhammad
    Aka, a 75 year old Mujahid and a resident of this districts Kajoor village opened fire with a Kalashnikov on Canadian
    invaders who were sitting around in the village yesterday at 12:00 pm and as a result 6 Canadian terrorists which includes
    a female invader were instantly killed before the brave Mujahid was Martyred (we ask Allah to grant him the highest ranks
    in Paradise). It is worth mentioning that 5 years back a 15 year old Abdul Kareem also killed a Canadian invader by
    striking him with an axe in this districts Kundalan area.”

    (3) The incident referred to in the 6 Nov 10 Taliban statement, regarding the 15-year-old who allegedly killed a Canadian,
    is false. The incident refers to the 6 Mar 10 axe attack against Captain Trevor Greene, who is still alive.
