Five NATO Soldiers Wounded In Afghan Attacks

Four NATO soldiers have been wounded in a suicide bombing in eastern Paktika Province, when provincial officials say a bomber rammed his explosives-filled vehicle into a NATO vehicle late on January 5.

Officials did not identify the nationalities of the wounded, but most soldiers stationed in the province are American.

In a separate incident today, one NATO soldier was wounded when a roadside bomb struck his vehicle in southern Kandahar Province.
