KABUL): Two Italian soldiers were injured when a home-made bomb ripped through their vehicle in Shindand district of western Herat province on Sunday, an Iranian TV reported.

Press TV said the Taliban had claimed responsibility, saying it was part of their ‘spring offensive’.

The TV said International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) also confirmed the attack that came a day after militants fired rockets at the biggest US military base in eastern Nangarhar province

Italy has 3067 soldiers in Afghanistan and 47 have been killed so far.

On April 12, a dozen Afghan army troops were killed when a large number of insurgents launched a multiple direction attack on an outpost in Kunar that borders Pakistan.
