Looks like Rummy was right about their main weapon being roadside bombs.

Prayers for the UK soldiers and their families.

Black Watch soldier killed, two hurt From correspondents in London November 9, 2004

A SOLDIER from Britain's Black Watch regiment serving in Iraq was killed and two others wounded when a bomb exploded near their camp south of Baghdad, the defence ministry said today.

"It is believed to be as a result of a roadside bomb," a spokesman said.

The names of the dead and injured men were not immediately made public.

"We need to inform the families of those involved. It is unlikely there will be any further details this evening (this morning AEDT)," the ministry said.

About 850 men of the Black Watch regiment were recently redeployed to a US-run sector south of Baghdad at the request of US commanders ahead of an assault on insurgent-held Fallujah. Britain has about 8500 troops in the south of Iraq.

Ill check back in later, traffic time.
