An armed Iraqi was shot and killed when he tried to escape from a Danish road block in the north of Basra province, the Danish defense command said on Saturday. Danish soldiers patrolling an area near the town of Al Qurnah on Friday intercepted two cars with three armed Iraqis. Two of the men surrendered quickly, and the third tried to flee with the firearms. After failing to heed several warning shots, the man was shot and later died at a nearby medical facility. The two other Iraqis are currently in the custody of Danish forces.
