were killed inside the burning shop. They said the shop sold chemicals, some of
which could be used to make explosives, and they believed the blast had been an
accident.
US troops sealed off the area as the truck burned, sending clouds of black
smoke into the sky.
A military spokesman said he had no immediate information on the incident.
