no idea

BBC is fairly reliable, although you could hardly call them a Coalition News Service

whatever the facts, some American troops (a convoy suggests troops travelling in military vehicles) have likely come under attack and there are perhaps some casualties.

this is simply news, and is posted as such.

that it is bad news i find regrettable, but hope i won't be attacked for posting it...i have no hidden agenda in posting this (except the usual conservative VRWC agenda), even if the source is the BBC.

again, this is simply news, and is posted as such.

apologies for disclaimer...we live in trying times.

No problem! I'm glad you posted, I was just hoping perhaps you had heard a live report or something and maybe had some information not written in the story.

You did good!
