Three Dutch Peacekeepers Wounded in Afghan Blast

KABUL - Three Dutch peacekeepers were wounded in Afghanistan when their vehicle was hit by an explosion while they were on patrol north of the capital, Kabul, a military spokesman said on Saturday.

All three were in stable condition but the man most seriously hurt in the Friday evening blast was expected to be sent back to Europe for medical treatment on Saturday, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force said.

The cause of the blast, while the men were on patrol in the Shomali plain on the northern outskirts of Kabul, was being determined.

Aww, screw it, now the damn Dutch are getting blasted. They have really gone and done it now. Get it? Dun it?

Prolly not. I should hit the sack.
G'nite.

My Dutch knowledge is limited; Whenever I think of Holland these days, I think of one of my favorite all time music groups, FOCUS, as I've been collecting CDs, as I can find them, of their 1970s LPs.

I hope the one they sent home for treatment comes out of the hospital okay.
