KABUL, Afghanistan - (AP) -- A roadside explosion hit a patrol of international peacekeepers in northern Afghanistan, injuring two foreign soldiers and two Afghan civilians, officials said.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said two vehicles were badly damaged in Monday's explosion near New Baghlan, about 120 miles north of Kabul. Mir Alam, the chief of police in the region, said the attack occurred at around noon, and that the explosion was caused by a remote-controlled land mine.

The two injured soldiers were moved to a nearby German medical facility. Their injuries were not life threatening, ISAF said in a statement.

ISAF did not give identities or nationalities of the injured troops but Alam said they were Dutch.
