WebPosted Tue Apr 26 18:30:40 2005

OTTAWA---Ottawa is investigating whether a Canadian who died in Iraq on
the weekend was killed by U.S. troops, a news report says.

Reports from Iraq suggest the U.S. military may have been involved, the
Canadian Press reported late Tuesday, citing a senior government source.

The news agency said a Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Cloe Rodrigue, had
confirmed that a Canadian died on Saturday.

However, she wouldn't detail the circumstances of the death or say
whether Americans may have played a part in it.

She said the matter was being handled by Canadian officials at the
consulate in Amman, Jordan.

The person has not yet been identified publicly.
