Two Canadian soldiers were injured Tuesday night by a roadside bomb 25 kilometres outside Kandahar City.

A Leopard tank travelling as the last vehicle in a convoy hit an improvised explosive device, or IED, at 8 p.m. local time, said military spokesman Lt. John Nethercott.

The convoy was then ambushed by small arms fire as it travelled east on a major highway in the region.
