22/6/2005 17:19

Two Iraqis were killed when the explosives in their tractor detonated prematurely today on the main road near the Iraqi town of Tuz Khurmato, police said.
"An explosive-laden tractor blew up on the main road between Tuz Khurmato and Tikrit apparently before reaching its target, killing two people aboard," a police source from the US-Iraqi Joint Coordination Center told Xinhua.
The Iraqi authorities identified the two bodies after they evacuated them to a hospital in Tuz Khurmato, some 180 km north of Baghdad, the source said.
