U.S. troops fight it out with Mahdi Army, 29 dead include 2 Reuters guys |
2007-07-13 |
![]() An Iraqi photographer and his driver working for Reuters were among the dead, witnesses and the company said. They were killed when a rocket or shell hit a minibus carrying wounded Iraqis from the neighbourhood, which they were filming. Witnesses claimed a US helicopter had fired the missile, although a Reuters statement said that a mortar shell by militants might be the cause. |

#10 I wonder whether all Reuters photographers are issued a Comanche board. |

#4 Bush damn better not apologize to Reuters for the deaths. We shouldn't apologize for killing the enemy. Did anyone else notice they were filming the wounded? |

#1 Its a start, and its about damn time we started hitting the enemy that has been hurting us, using terrorist tactics, and was off limits as a target until now. Yes, JAM (the Mahdi Army), of course. What else did you think I was talking about? Heh heh. |
