3 GIs Killed in 2nd Ammo Dump Blast in Kuwait
Three U.S. soldiers died in an explosion Tuesday near the U.S. military camp at Doha, Kuwait, the U.S. military said.
The soldiers were clearing ammunition remaining from a fire and explosion that occurred at the camp July 11 when some of it detonated, said a statement from the Joint Information Bureau in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
The names of the soldiers were being withheld until relatives could be notified.
“While the cause of the accident has not been determined, we know it was not due to hostile action or sabotage,” the statement said.
