Four Marines die in accident at Camp Pendleton in California
Wed Nov 13, 2013 5:48pm EST
(Reuters) - Four U.S. Marines were killed on Wednesday in an accident while clearing a training area of obstructions at Camp Pendleton in California, a military spokesman said.
The marines were killed at the Zulu Impact Area in the interior part of the base just north of San Diego, said Marines spokesman Lieutenant Ryan Finnegan. He could not confirm an NBC News report that the incident involved the detonation of unexploded ordnance, but Finnegan did say the type of operation the marines were handling could involve ordnance disposal.
