Journalist Colin Brazier said the four reconnaissance scouts were ambushed while driving Humvee jeeps at the head of the column.
"Rocket-propelled grenades were fired, one at each Humvee, (they) killed both sets of occupants," he said in a brief live report on TV.

P.S. The current official coalition death toll is 11 US and 14 UK servicemen.

I hate quoting CNN but they do have the best pictures.

CNN has just reported that 4 American soldiers have been killed.

They were driving 2 Hummers and were targeted by Iraqi soldiers with rocket propeled grenades (or some other weapon of this nature).

Interesting. Can anyone confirm?

Fox News is also running with this.

But it's interesting that most of the coalition deaths have been from accidents so far.

[GePap]

All reported UK deaths have been from accidents, while a slight majority of US deaths have been from combat.
