The soldiers were injured in a suicide attack at an outpost near the Pakistani border.

One of the soldiers was categorized as "serious" and taken to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Fisher said.  Another is being transported to Fort Benning, where he will recover at a Warrior Transition Unit.  The other three returned to duty.

None of their injuries are considered life threatening, Fisher said.
