Two Soldiers from Canada plus two Afghani Soldiers wounded in Kandahar .
Two Canadian soldiers were slightly wounded Friday in a suicide bomb attack in southern Afghanistan, while two Afghan soldiers were also injured.
The four soldiers were airlifted back to Kandahar Airfield for treatment after the attack, and the Canadians were well enough to walk into the trauma centre themselves.
Both telephoned their families back home to let them know they were OK.
The Afghan soldiers were still being assessed and no updates on their conditions were immediately available.
The four soldiers were on a foot patrol at about 10 a.m. local time in the village of Nalgham, in Zhari district, just west of Kandahar City when the bomber struck. The bomber died in the blast.
No further details about the incident were immediately available.
The cowardly Bin Laden also sent a further voice message to Al Jazeera.( yet to be confirmed by voice analysis)
DUBAI (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden vowed in an audio tape to mark Israel's 60th anniversary to continue to fight the Jewish state and its allies in the West.
The al Qaeda leader, who has placed growing emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, said it was at the heart of the Muslim battle with the West and an inspiration to the 19 bombers who carried out the attacks on U.S. cities on September 11, 2001.
We will continue, God permitting, the fight against the Israelis and their allies ... and will not give up a single inch of Palestine as long as there is one true Muslim on earth, he said in the message, posted on an Islamist website on Friday
This Megalomaniac is a very disturbed and fanatical person if he is in fact alive. It has been many years since any video dated footage has been sent to news sources, the voice analysis states that the tapes sound like him?

Canada unveils a new, top medal for battlefield bravery
Canada's Governor General Michaelle Jean gestures, May 9, 2008. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Bob Edme THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Gov.-Gen. Michaelle Jean has formally unveiled the new, Canadian Victoria Cross, or VC - the highest possible award for battlefield bravery.
The modest bronze alloy cross and its crimson ribbon is almost identical to the original Victoria Cross, instituted by Queen Victoria in 1856 and awarded to Canadians for almost a century. The new cross has a slightly modified design, adding fleurs de lis and changing the original English inscription, For Valour, to a Latin motto, Pro Valore.
It can only be awarded for the most conspicuous bravery, or a pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice in the presence of an enemy.
Of the 1,353 crosses (and three repeat winners) awarded since 1856, 81 went to members of the Canadian military.
The last Canadian to win the VC was Hampton Gray, a Canadian navy pilot who was honoured posthumously after sinking a Japanese destroyer in the dying days of the Second World War.
The last surviving Canadian holder of the VC, Ernest (Smokey) Smith, died in 2005.
Please Remember the Rally 29 May 08 in Charlottetown.
