In this photo released by the Dutch Ministery of Defense, the flag-draped coffins of Lt. Dennis van Uhm, the son of the top Dutch military commander Gen. Peter van Uhm, and soldier Mark Schouwink are seen at Eindhoven airport April 20, 2008. Van Uhm and Schouwink, serving with NATO-led forces were killed when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on Friday. Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for the blast, which came at a time of rising violence following a traditional winter lull in fighting. The Dutch Defence Ministry said in a statement there were no indications the attack was specifically targeted at the 23-year-old son of chief of joint staffs Peter van Uhm, who took over command of the Dutch military on Thursday.
