Aussie soldier hurt in Iraq

23/05/2008 8:08:00 PM.  | AAP
A Brisbane-based soldier injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq is recovering at a German hospital, the Department of Defence said.

Private Liam Haven was inside a Bushmaster armoured vehicle near An Nasiriyah in the early hours of last Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded, injuring his arm, neck and face.

He has undergone surgery in Germany.

"The 19-year-old is assessed as being in a stable condition," a Defence statement said.

"The nature of his wounds remains medical-in-confidence.

"Private Haven's family has travelled to Germany to be with him and remain by his side."

The soldier will fly home to Australia sometime next month, Defence said.
