Canada to help rebuild Kandahar prison

Ottawa (Canada), Jun 27: The Canadian Government has announced that it will spend four million dollars rebuilding the security infrastructure at Kandahar's Sarpoza prison. According to the Globe and Mail newspaper, about two million dollars will be used to rebuild walls, gates and towers that were blown up in this month's explosions that freed at least 400 insurgents.

Canadian Foreign Minister David Emerson said the money would come from the previously announced peace and security fund for Afghanistan.
