The soldiers, from Camp Warehouse, volunatarily donated 450 milliliters of blood, said a statement from ISAF headquarters on Thursday.

Suffering from perforations of liver and lung, the victim had an urgent need for a blood transfusion before he could undergo an operation.

“It is completely normal to give blood for a victim,” said Lieutenant Romuald, one of the six donors.

Gerard, a doctor in the unit, said the blood would contribute to save the victim’s life.

He also recalled the generosity of other donors had saved the life of a patient after another attack at the beginning of November 2008.
