Three soldiers of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and their local interpreter were injured as an explosive device struck their vehicle in western Herat province, a press release of the multinational force said Thursday.

"An improvised explosive device exploded at the edge of the road while an ISAF vehicle was driving near Shindand, approximately 90 km south of Herat city, wounding three ISAF soldiers," said the press release.

An Afghan national working as interpreter was also wounded in the incident Wednesday, it said.

However, it did not identify the nationality of the wounded soldiers.

This is the second attack on NATO troops so far this week. A previous attack near Kabul left at least one NATO soldier dead and wounded another on Tuesday.

I've been searching for the press release but can't seem to find anything or to get the ISAF site to upload. :shrug:
