Halliburton, KBR named in suit over 'burn pits'

LOUISVILLE, Ky. �

A pair of Kentucky men who served in Iraq and Afghanistan are suing
two U.S. military contractors and accusing the companies of exposing
them to toxic fumes and ash from �burn pits.�

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Louisville on Monday by
former Air Force Sgt. Sean Alexander Stough of Stanton and Charles
Hicks of Bellevue.

It accuses Houston-based Halliburton Co. and KBR Inc. of burning
everything from human remains to tires in open air pits, exposing
everyone nearby to toxic ash and fumes.

................................................................................................................................

Halliburton didn�t immediately return a call for comment on Tuesday.

At least 30 similar suits have been filed in 30 states against KBR and
other contractors.
