A landmine blast Wednesday hit a Canadian forces convoy in southern Afghanistan injuring two soldiers, officials said. Spokesman for the Canadian forces Major Marc Theriault told reporters the explosion took place in the Sangin district of the volatile province. He said the injured soldiers were shifted to a military base in Kandahar and their condition was satisfactory. Earlier in the day, a motorist, believed to be a suicide bomber, was shot dead by the US forces in Afghanistan's border town of Jalalabad. Officials said the vehicle was packed with explosives and it burst in flames as the coalition forces opened fire at it. The US forces did not comment so far on the Jalalabad incident.
