A female soldier from Canada has been killed in combat in Afghanistan, military officials said Wednesday.

She died in a military operation against Taliban forces, said Prime Minister Stephen Harper during question period.

She has not been identified, but was a captain in the Canadian Forces.

Military officials are in the process of identifying her next of kin, said Harper.

The prime minister said he wasn't sure whether this was Canada's first female combat death.

The military action took place south of Kandahar, where the majority of Canada's 2,300 soldiers are serving.

This raises Canada's death toll in Afghanistan to 16 soldiers and one diplomat since the mission started in 2002.

MPs will vote Wednesday on whether to extend Canada's deployment in the country until 2009 from its currently scheduled end date of February 2007.

Not completely true. The base the soldier is from does have its flag lowered. Often the hometown as well.

What is not completely true? Stephen Harper is not in charge of municipal flags.
