Afghan explosion injures UK soldiers
 Three British soldiers have been wounded, two of them seriously, by a roadside explosion in Afghanistan. The Defence Ministry says the three had been on patrol in the southern province of Helmand when the explosion hit their Land Rover on Monday. They have been flown to hospital for treatment. "It is suspected that the explosion was caused either by an improvised explosive device or by a landmine," a spokesman said. "Until we establish [the cause] we can't say whether it was a hostile action or whether it was unexploded ordnance. One of the injured is walking wounded. Regrettably, the other two soldiers received serious injuries and continue to receive treatment."
