CFB TRENTON, Ont. - The bodies of the latest three Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan are due to arrive Saturday at CFB Trenton in eastern Ontario.

Private Chad Horn and Corporals Andrew Grenon and Mike Seggie were killed Wednesday during an attack by Taliban insurgents in the volatile Zhari district. The three - all in their early 20's - were based at CFB Shilo in Manitoba. Five other soldiers were wounded in the attack.

Their deaths raises to 96 the number of Canadian soldiers killed in the Afghan mission.

Gov.-Gen. Michaelle Jean and Defence Minister Peter MacKay will be among the dignitaries who will be on hand when the bodies arrive at CFB Trenton.
