COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Two Danish soldiers serving in southern
Iraq were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded next to their vehicle.

The two were taken to a British military hospital in the southern city of Basra following the blast Thursday night, the Danish military said Friday.

"They have slight injuries and are doing fine," said a military spokesman, Captain Filip Ulrichsen.

Denmark has deployed 530 troops in Iraq, most of them in the Basra region under British command. One Danish soldier so far has been killed during the deployment, a victim of "friendly fire" in August 2003.
