CBC.CA -- BAGHDAD (AP) - In an apparent accident, seven Ukrainians and one Kazakh serving with the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq were killed Sunday in an explosion while loading bombs that could be used by warplanes, officials said.
Meanwhile south of Baghdad, U.S. troops opened fire after their convoy was struck by a roadside bomb at a checkpoint, killing at least two policemen and three civilians, police said Sunday, a day after the U.S. military acknowledged five people were killed when it bombed the wrong house during a search operation in northern Iraq.
Lt.-Col. Artur Domanski, a Polish military spokesman in Iraq, said the bomb blast occurred at about noon at an ammunition dump about 10 kilometres south of Suwaira. Eleven soldiers - seven Ukrainians and four Kazakhs - were wounded in the explosion, he said.
Few details about the deaths of the Ukrainians and Kazakh were known. Domanski said an investigation had been launched. Ukraine's Defence Ministry said soldiers were loading aviation bombs when one device exploded. |
