The soldiers were on their way to a village, along with a doctor in Baghlan province when the bomb exploded. None of them was killed or injured, said a military spokesman.

He said the vehicle, in which the soldiers were traveling, was damaged and its windscreen was smashed. However, the soldiers were unhurt.

Roadside bomb attacks against foreign troops are becoming a common practice in Afghanistan where the Taliban militants are avoiding direct encounter with NATO and coalition forces for fear of air strikes.
