US Pilot May Be Disciplined in Kuwait Bomb Accident

The US military's Central Command will recommend that a Navy fighter pilot be disciplined for his part in a deadly March 12 bombing range accident in Kuwait, Reuters quoted US defense officials as saying Friday.

The officials, who asked not to be identified, said Army Gen. Tommy Franks would make the recommendation early next week based on an investigation of the accident at the Udairi Bombing Range in Kuwait, which killed five U.S. troops and a New Zealander.

Two other American servicemen -- an Air Force traffic controller and a Navy air traffic controller who helped guide the pilot -- could also face punishment, the officials told Reuters.

"I think you can expect to see something as early as Monday," one official said. "The general will recommend that the Navy and Air Force take disciplinary action. The extent of that action will be up to them."
