Digger Injured By Bomb In Afghanistan:AN Australian soldier has been injured by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

Defence says the man’s wounds are “not life threatening”.

The wounding happened on Tuesday and comes just days after Defence Minister John Faulkner visited Washington for talks with his US counterparts about the war, which has so far claimed 11 Australian lives.

Defence says the soldier was with the second mentoring and reconstruction task force when he was wounded north of Tarin Kowt in the restive southern province of Oruzgan.
