The front axle of the four-wheel all-terrain vehicle locked up as the soldier was driving through sand Sunday near Orgun, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Kabul near the Pakistani border. The soldier was thrown forward over the handlebars, said Army Col. Roger King. He was taken to Bagram Air Base north of Kabul and flown out to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany for further tests. King did not identify the soldier or say how serious the injury was. The Romanians were hurt when their vehicle hit an anti-personnel mine southeast of Kandahar on Sunday morning. One soldier was hurt in the head and needed stitches; the other was lightly burned on one leg. They were taken to the U.S. military's Kandahar base, treated and released, King said. King said he did not know if the land mine had been planted recently. Also Sunday, a Chinook helicopter made a hard landing near Deh Rawoot in the central province of Uruzgan. The helicopter's front landing gear was damaged, but there were no injuries, King said. Safety inspectors were investigating the accident. Helicopter pilots have said they have had trouble with landings in Afghanistan, especially at night, because of the dust kicked up by the helicopter blades. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
