KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - Two Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan have been lightly injured today after their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb.

The attack took place 10 kilometres west of Masum Ghar, a village in Kandahar province's Zhari district.

Both victims were riding in a Track Light Armoured Vehicle as part of a supply convoy when they drove over the bomb.

The military says wounded soldiers are being transferred by helicopter to a hospital at Kandahar Air Field.

Meanwhile, Zhari district's police chief and his three children were killed by a suicide bomber earlier in the day. Another daughter was injured.

The Canadian military says the two incidents aren't related.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who feels for "theirs" as well as "ours". I wish more people would realize we're fighting WITH, not AGAINST each other. +1 to you sir.
