KENT, Conn. (AP) – A Connecticut soldier is recovering in a Baghdad hospital after being wounded in a firefight last week.

Jay Christopher Strobino, 21, of Kent suffered two bullet wounds when his 101st Airborne unit was hit with enemy fire southwest of Baghdad on Tuesday.

His father told the Sunday Republican of Waterbury that Strobino will likely be airlifted back to the United States for more surgery. He said his son suffered a broken leg and a collapsed lung.

“He’s not in excellent shape, but he’s doing real well,” Jay Strobino said. “He’s waiting airlift back to this country, though we don’t know just when.”

Strobino suffered a broken leg and a collapsed lun, his father said. He was able to talk with his parents by phone on Saturday. He was on his second tour of duty in Iraq. His unit returned from his 12-month tour in 2004.
