The two NZDF soldiers injured in the vehicle accident in Afghanistan yesterday (Tuesday 29 August 2006) have been
cleared of any serious injury and are resting at the Bagram Coalition base. They are expected to return to the NZ
Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) base at Bamyan end of the week.
Senior National Officer, Captain Ross Smith visited them yesterday and reported that they were in reasonably good
spirits and are expected to fully recover and return to normal duties.
The soldiers, part of New Zealand's Provincial Reconstruction Team based in Bamyan, were travelling as part of a convoy
of light 4WD Toyota vehicles undertaking a routine patrol in the Waras District.
