SAMAWAH — A Dutch soldier was killed and another injured in a grenade attack Monday night in the southern Iraq city of Samawah where Japanese troops have also been deployed, local security officials said.

They were the first casualties among the Dutch troops deployed in the city for Iraq's reconstruction. (Kyodo News)

No more news than that on that website but on Dutch TV news they said a grenade was thrown by someone passing on a bike(!).
