A rocket exploded just metres away from sleeping troops and civilian workers in the first attack involving Canadian soldiers since they arrived in August.
The strike on Camp Warehouse came on Thursday at 9:50 p.m. on the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, Washington and a field in Pennsylvania.
A 120-mm rocket struck a shipping container five metres from the nearest Canadian tent on the northeast corner of the base.
The tent where Kurt, who didn't want to give his last name, was lying in his cot was covered in debris and perforated by shrapnel holes the size of a nickel.
