4 Canadian soldiers wounded in Afghanistan

Four Canadian soldiers were wounded, one seriously, after their light armoured vehicle was attacked with roadside bomb on Wednesday in Afghanistan.

The soldiers were in a LAV III near a forward base 75 kilometres north of Kandahar when the roadside bomb exploded.

Maj. Mario Couture, a spokesperson for the Canadian Forces, said the wounded soldiers were airlifted to hospital. One of the soldiers is in serious condition, while the condition of the other three is good.

The identities of the injured have not been released.
