Brig. Gen. T. Patterson Maney, a judge in Okaloosa County in the Florida Panhandle, suffered head, neck and back injuries on Sunday but was expected to return to duty Tuesday, said his wife, Caroline.

The explosion rocked Maney's Humvee as it was returning to Kabul, his wife said Monday. Four others in the vehicle with him also suffered minor injuries, she said.

"They hit the trigger too soon. They hit the front of the car instead of the middle," she said. "It's a miracle that he's alive."
