Some of the enemy is us
For the UK at least (one wonders if there as any parallel for the Canadian Forces):
Exclusive: Army is fighting British jihadists in AfghanistanTop Army officers reveal surge in attacks by radicalised Britons
While in another country:
[...]Somalia is also becoming a destination for British Muslims of Somali extraction who have started fighting alongside al-Qa'ida-backed Islamist forces. A 21-year-old Briton of Somali extraction, who had been brought up in Ealing, west London, recently blew himself up in the town of Baidoa, killing 20 people. The head of MI5, Jonathan Evans, has raised the worrying issue of British citizens being indoctrinated in Somalia, and Michael Hayden, the outgoing head of the CIA, warned that the conflict in the Horn of Africa [latest here] had "catalysed" expatriate Somalis in the West...
Another sort of participation in Somalia, by a Canadian:
Canadian approved as prime minister of Somalia
Mark C.
Predate: Treason.
Predate II: This had skipped my mind:
...his defence was that he wanted to aid and someday join Muslim insurgents fighting Canadian and other NATO troops in Afghanistan...Posted by markc at February 25, 2009 06:20 PM
