Two die during Kuwait 'war games'
Two people were killed and two US soldiers injured during war games in Kuwait today.
Kuwait's Ministry of Defence spokesman Brigadier Ahmed al-Rahmani could not immediately provide the nationalities of the two dead.
He said the injured Americans were in stable condition.
The shooting occurred on Failaka Island off Kuwait’s coast.
About 1,900 US marines and sailors are taking part in a ground, air and naval training exercise with the military of their Kuwaiti hosts.
Washington has said the games, dubbed Eager Mace 2002, are routine and not related to any possible war to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
