SARAJEVO, July 29 (AFP) - A US soldier was killed and two others were injured Tuesday when their vehicle collided with a civilian truck in northern Bosnia, NATO-led peacekeepers said.

The accident occurred at about 10 am (0800 GMT) near a US base not far from the town of Brcko and is being investigated, said a statement from the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR).

The three soldiers were part of a 1,500-strong US contingent serving with SFOR, which has 12,000 troops deployed in Bosnia to maintain security following the country's 1992-95 war.

Yup, and I'm sure the question tonight will be why didn't Bill Clinton have a plan for post war Bosnia?????, and why did he use such questionable Intel on these mass graves?????, I kinda remember hearing our troops were to come home from Bosnia about 7 Christmas's ago, how bout you? :-)
