KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Five Canadian soldiers were slightly injured on Sunday when their convoy was attacked by a roadside bomb and rocket-propelled grenades.
Lt.-Cmdr. Hubert Genest says the victims were in an RG31 light-amoured vehicle in a supply convoy when they were ambushed about 13 kilometres west of Kandahar at 1:20 a.m. local time.
They had just supplied the Ma'sum Ghar base and were about halfway back to the base at Kandahar when they were attacked.
The injured were brought back to the Ma'sum Ghar camp where they are waiting to be transferred by helicopters to the hospital at the Kandahar base.
