Food Poisoning Sickens More Than 100 Iraqi Soldiers
TIKRIT, Iraq -- Police in Iraq say it appears to be a massive case of food poisoning.

More than 100 Iraqi soldiers have been hospitalized after getting sick at their base in northern Iraq. Hospital officials say the troops are suffering from fever, vomiting and stomach pain.

The base is in Tikrit, the hometown of Saddam Hussein.

A police official said they are investigating the source of the food poisoning.

6. Reminiscent of the Spanish-American war, that.
Thankfully no other resemblances, after all that war was started for trumped up reasons to benefit massive media conglomerates and shady military contractors while expanding the American empire.
