The three New Zealand soldiers killed by a bomb in
Afghanistan on Sunday have started their journey home.
A special ceremony was held at Bagram Air Base where the
bodies of Corporal Luke Tamatea, Lance Corporal Jacinda Baker and Private
Richard Harris were carried onto an Australian Air Force aircraft.
They were killed when
an IED bomb with 20 kilograms of explosives blew up the Humvee they were
travelling in.
The three soldiers will be transferred onto a New Zealand Hercules
plane in Australia and is expected to arrive in Christchurch tomorrow.
