Six children killed in Iraqi bomb explosion

FOREIGN STAFF

SIX Iraqi children were killed and ten injured when an Iraqi bomb they were trying to dismantle exploded, the British Ministry of Defence said yesterday.

The accident happened on Monday near Basra, which has been under British control since the end of the invasion of Iraq.

"It seems the children were trying to get the copper out of an Iraqi munition when it exploded," a spokeswoman said. The United Nations said the accident showed how serious the problem of unexploded bombs was.

Meanwhile, US forces say they have captured two men they believe are former officials in Saddam Hussein’s regime. The military is still checking to confirm the men in custody are the Baath Party leader, Fadil Mahmud Gharib, and the former culture minister, Hammed Youssef Hammadi, a Pentagon official said.

Gharib was a leader of Saddam’s political party in the provinces of Karbala and Babil and was no 28 on the US list of the 55 most wanted former Iraqi officials.
