A military doctor said that the three Canadian soldiers, who were wounded in a suicide car bombing incident last weekend in Afghanistan, may be heading back to Canada.
William Salikin, Jeffery Bailey and Paul Franklin are recovering at a U.S. military hospital in Germany. They were injured in an attack last Sunday which killed two Afghans and also killed senior Canadian diplomat Glyn Berry.
All of the three were severely wounded: Bailey is still in a coma and Franklin has lost half his leg. Salikin is just recovering from a coma too. A medical team from Canada is expecting to arrive in Landstuhl tomorrow and is hoping to take all three soldiers home by Tuesday.
Family members of the three said that they have been touched by the support from Canadians.
