> DARWIN, Australia - A U.S. Marine Corps fighter jet dropped a bomb and
> damaged a building in an accident at a remote military range in northern
> Australia, the government said Friday.
>
> The bomb, dropped by an F/A-18 Hornet, exploded near a control tower and
> damaged facilities at the Delamere Air Weapons Range in the Northern
> Territory on Wednesday, Australia's Defense Department said. No one was
> injured and no details were released on the extent of the damage.
>
> Defense Minister Robert Hill said the mishap was under investigation by
> both Australian and American authorities.
>
> "We certainly regard it as a serious incident," Hill told reporters in the
> northern city of Darwin.
>
> Bombing exercises have ceased at the weapons range, some 80 miles south of
> the town of Katherine.
>
> "Things like this will always happen; we hope not very frequently and we
> hope not any more dangerously," Prime Minister John Howard told Melbourne
> Radio 3AW. "But the idea that you can conduct any kind of military
> exercise
> without some kind of potential for mishap is unrealistic."
>
> The U.S. Marine contingent, which is based in Japan, was conducting an

> troops,
> 15 F/A-18 Hornets and two KC-130 Hercules aircraft.
>
> The U.S. Marine Corps said the ordnance was a 500 pound laser-guided bomb,
> Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
