Wounded digger in stable condition in Germany
Posted
An Australian soldier who received life-threatening injuries in an ambush in Afghanistan last week is in a stable condition in hospital.
The man was one of nine special forces soldiers wounded in an attack by Taliban fighters in Oruzgan Province.
He has been evacuated to a United States medical facility in Germany after an attempt to move him last Friday was called off because his condition was too unstable.
A spokesman for Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon says his family is travelling to Germany.
