A remote-controlled bomb planted by suspected Taliban resurgents seriously injured five government soldiers in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, officials said yesterday.

The incident occurred Friday in the Shah Wali-Kot district, 65km north of Kandahar, when a convoy of five vehicles were traveling from the neighboring province of Uruzgan, said a police officer in Kandahar who asked not to be identified.

"All of have seriously been injured," he said.

General Abdul Wasi, a military spokesman, confirmed the incident but declined to provide information about the casualties.
