Police Poisoned in Iraq
by TChris
Hundreds of Iraqi police officers were poisoned at their base during their evening meal today.
An official with the Environment Ministry said 11 policemen had died. However, the governor of Wasit province -- where the poisoning took place -- denied any deaths, though he said some of the victims were in critical condition. There was no immediate explanation for the contradictory reports. Some of the policemen began bleeding from the ears and nose after the meal ....
Food and water are provided to the base by an Australian firm. Whether the poisoning was deliberate or accidental is under investigation.
