2 Australian soldiers wounded by bomb blast

Two Australian soldiers have been wounded after their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device (home-made bomb) while on patrol in southern Afghanistan.

The soldiers are in a satisfactory condition following the incident on Wednesday and are being treated as outpatients at their Tarin Kot base, the Defence Department said in a statement on Saturday.

They had been part of an Afghan National Police and Special Operations Task Group joint patrol.
