Hundreds of Iraq police sick from poison
2006/10

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Authorities arrested the head of the mess hall where at least 350 Iraqi policemen suffered food poisoning, as the military investigated whether the poisonings were intentional, officials said Monday.

On Sunday night, an official in the Environment Ministry, Jassim al-Atwan, said 11 policemen had died. The governor of the local province of Wasit, Hamad al-Latif, said "hundreds of soldiers were poisoned" at the police base in Numaniyah, but nobody had died.

"A number of people have been arrested, including the man in charge of the mess hall," al-Moussawi said.

The division normally operates around the town of Salman Pak on the southeastern outskirts of Baghdad — an area of intense Shiite-Sunni fighting.

Gov. al-Latif said the base‘s food and water are supplied by an Australian contractor working through Iraqi subcontractors. He did not identify the Australian company.
