Iraqi looters die in ammunition dump blast
Several looters who broke into a former Iraqi army ammunition dump were killed today when they set off an accidental explosion, a spokesman for Polish-led peacekeepers said.
About “four to six” Iraqis died in the night-time blast in the desert about 180 kilometres south-west of Karbala, said Colonel Robert Strzelecki, revising an initial statement that about 20 had died.
