| Soldiers, journalist killed in Iraq |
| 2003-03-22 |
| Four U.S. soldiers were killed on Saturday in central Iraq, according to a reporter from Britainâs Sky TV who was travelling with them. Meanwhile, at least one journalist was killed and nine other people injured on Saturday in a car bombing in northern Iraq. JOURNALIST COLIN BRAZIER of Britainâs Sky TV said four U.S. reconnaissance scouts were ambushed while driving Humvee jeeps at the head of a column. âRocket-propelled grenades were fired, one at each Humvee; (they) killed both sets of occupants,â he said in a brief live report on TV. âThere was a position we were heading to for refueling at about the same time â it was clearly a coordinated attack. There was the extraordinary sight of local people actually pointing out some of those positions that were being fired from,â Brazier said, speaking rapidly by satellite phone before he had to cut off. U.S. military officials said they had no information on the latest report of casualties. Four more good men. Prayers for all. FOLLOWUP: FoxNews says the four were wounded, not killed. They're under care by 3ID. |
