Peter MacKay Afghanistan visit marred by rocket attack

As reported here and here, recently promoted Defence Minister Peter MacKay was visiting a CFB located in Afghanistan earlier today when the base was subject to a rocket attack.

MacKay was conducting private meetings at Forward Operating Base Wilson, about 20 kilometres west of Kandahar city, when the attack occurred.

After the first rocket landed around 11 a.m. local time, Mackay was taken into an armoured vehicle for safety.

I'm daring to ask the question on everybody's minds...

Do we know where Belinda was at the time?
