Failed suicide attack on Polish army base kills 11
2004-02-18
At least 11 Iraqi civilians were killed Wednesday morning when a pair of homicide bombers tried to attack a coalition base where international troops are based, a coalition spokeswoman said. The attack outside Camp Charlie in Hillah (search) also wounded 44 other Iraqis and 58 coalition troops, including Hungarians, Poles and an American. Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek called it a "well coordinated terrorist attack." The bombing happened after 7 a.m. local time when a pair of trucks loaded with explosives tried to drive near the front of Camp Charlie. Guards fired at the vehicles, causing one to explode, killing the driver, said Lt. Col. Robert Strzelecki. Another truck struck a concrete barrier and exploded, damaging a nearby house.
