Canadian troops assisted two NATO soldiers wounded in a roadside bomb attack in southern Afghanistan Monday.

The bomb hit a convoy of soldiers in Sanzary, near the Panjwaii district.

A spokesperson for the Canadian Forces said the wounded were not Canadian. They are believed to be American.

Canadian troops in the area secured the bomb site and helped bring the wounded soldiers to a nearby hospital for treatment. Their condition isn't known.

Militants often use remote-controlled explosive devices in their fight against foreign and Afghan security forces.

More than 2,000 Canadian troops are serving in the southern Kandahar region of Afghanistan. Forty-four soldiers and one diplomat have died since the mission started in 2002.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

A NATO soldier was killed and several others wounded on Monday in southern Afghanistan during an attack on a militant base.

The alliance has not disclosed the nationalities of the dead and wounded soldiers.

NATO troops were attacking the militant base when they were "engaged from several insurgent positions," the alliance said.

Aircraft later bombed the militant fighters.

My prayers are with the families of those wounded and the ones that have been lost.

[niner domestic]

Though the mysteries of life and death are hidden from us Lord, do not forsake, we pray, those who grieve for their dead.

In these dark hours grant them comfort, faith, hope, and strengthen them in their belief that their loss will not be in vain.

Visit those who are injured, relieve their suffering, and bring them recovery that they may witness thy mercy.

Hear also the prayers of those families who wait.

Aid them in their hour of fear, and safeguard those dear to them.

Hear our prayers and help us to do our duty and thy will, confident in the love and saving grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ

Lest We Forget
