A private funeral service was held in Ottawa Saturday for the Canadian soldier killed in Iraq last week.

Sergeant Andrew Doiron died in what the military is calling a friendly fire incident.

Doirion was shot and killed by Kurdish troops as his special forces unit was returning to an observation post.

Three other Canadian soldiers were wounded.

Doiron is the first Canadian soldier to die in Canada’s military effort in Iraq which began last fall.
