Four foreign soldiers from the US- led Coalition were injured in a
roadside bomb explosion Wednesday in the restive province of Zabul, the military
said today.
"The incident took place 7:30 p.m. in Atghara district of Zabul
when the Coalition forces were patrolling," Coalition spokesman Quentin Innis
told Xinhua. One military vehicle was destroyed in the blast.
The wounded
were sent to Kandahar field hospital and they were in stable condition, he
added.
Earlier this week, two US soldiers were killed and three were injured
as militants intensified attacks against foreign troop in the country.
Also
on Wednesday, Taliban executed two policemen in Kandahar province, the former
stronghold of Taliban.
Some 700 people mostly Taliban militants have lost
their lives in Taliban-linked insurgency since beginning 2006.
