INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Attorneys for a group of Indiana National Guard soldiers claiming they were exposed to a potentially cancer-causing chemical while serving in Iraq have filed a lawsuit in Texas against a defense contractor.
The suit filed Tuesday in Houston against KBR comes more than a month after a federal judge in Indianapolis dismissed their suit. He ruled that his court lacked "personal jurisdiction" over KBR and several related companies named in the lawsuit.
The suit was refiled in Texas because KBR is based there.
About 140 Indiana soldiers allege KBR failed to warn them that an Iraqi water pumping plant they helped guard in 2003 was tainted with a substance linked to cancer and other diseases.
KBR has denied wrongdoing.
