Iraq attack: bodies of Pakistanis flown back



By Our Staff Reporter


LAHORE, May 30: Bodies of two Pakistanis killed in a rocket attack on an US base in Iraq a couple of days ago were flown back on Tuesday for burial. Nasir Iqbal of Gujrat and Mohammad Munir of Wazirabad (Gujranwala) were working as a labourer and electrician, respectively, at an American camp in Iraq when it came under a rocket attack by militants.

They sustained serious injuries and died on the spot, a spokesman for the US army said. Their bodies were removed to Kuwait where the Pakistan embassy handed them over to the heirs.

Moving scenes were witnessed when the bodies were transported to their hometowns for burial.
