UK confirms three Britons killed in Iraq attacks
4/1/2005 11:19
The British government confirmed on late Monday that three Britons were
killed in a blast in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
The British Foreign Office
said its first priority was to make sure that the next of kin were informed,
declining to give any more information.
A BBC report said the three British
civilians were working in the country for private sector organizations.
A
vehicle carrying them and an American civilian, who also died, was wrecked in
the suicide bomb blast at a checkpoint manned by US troops, the report
said.
The bombing came on a day when at least three other suicide car bombs
and a number of other attacks have left at least 30 people dead throughout Iraq.
