Tue June 10, 2003 01:28 AM ET BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An explosion at an Iraqi ammunition facility has killed three Iraqis and wounded two others, the United States Central Command said.
The explosion at Ad Diwaniyah, about 75 miles south of the capital Baghdad, occurred on Monday morning, CentCom said in a statement posted on its Web site early on Tuesday.
It said U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq sustained no casualties in the explosion.

Sad to hear but as I said before why aren't the Iraqis guarding the checkpoints. Why aren't they in charge of destroying muntions.
CentCom said U.S. troops in Iraq intend to help clear the ammunition facility on Tuesday once they make sure it was safe to do so.
If it wasn't safe for U.S. troops then what were those Iraqis doing in there?
