A bomb made with an anti-tank mine destroyed a US military Humvee near a police station in southeastern Afghanistan, slightly injuring two American soldiers, the military said Monday. The bomb hit the US vehicle on Sunday in Orgun, a town in Paktika province where the US military has a base near the Pakistani border, a military statement said. The soldiers were treated and released, it said. An Afghan led police to another homemade bomb near Orgun, also on Sunday. It wasn't clear who laid either device, but the area lies near Pakistan in a swath of Afghan territory where Pakistanis militants have maintained a stubborn insurgency since the fall of the Taliban three years ago.
