Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Three British soldiers sent to high risk area killed
(Tini Tran, CBCNews, November 4, 2004)
Insurgents killed three British troops and wounded eight others from a unit sent to high-risk central Iraq to free U.S. forces for an assault on the militant stronghold Fallujah. . . . The three British soldiers were from the Black Watch regiment, which was moved from relatively quiet southern Iraq to the dangerous area just south of Baghdad so that American troops there could take part in an anticipated offensive against Fallujah and other insurgent strongholds north and west of the capital. . . . An Iraqi interpreter was also killed in the attack, British officials said. The deaths bring the total number of British troops killed in Iraq to 73 and was the worst single combat loss for the British since three Royal Military Police were killed in the southern city of Basra in August 2003. . . . British Prime Minister Tony Blair agreed to a U.S. request to move British troops from relatively peaceful southern Iraq to the dangerous Baghdad area despite considerable opposition, even within his own Labour party. . . . Scottish Nationalist party spokesman Angus Robertson warned that the deaths would have "profound implications" for public opinion in Scotland, where the Black Watch regiment is recruited. . . . Elsewhere, an Iraqi National Guard patrol was attacked Thursday by a car bomb in Iskandariyah, 50 kilometres south of Baghdad, killing three people and wounding 15, Iraqi hospital officials said. . . . A suicide car bomber killed three and wounded nine others when his explosive-laden vehicle barrelled into the city government offices in Dujail, 80 kilometres north of the capital, police said. . . . The wave of kidnappings continued with Al-Jazeera television airing video of three Jordanian truck drivers seized by the Army of Islam. They were part of a convoy of seven truckers who came under attack Tuesday near Fallujah, the Jordanian Truckers Association said. One driver was killed, two others are missing and a fourth escaped.
