2 British Guards Reported Shot in Iraq

A drive-by shooting Sunday in northern Iraq (news - web sites) killed two people described by a local official as British guards at a power station.

U.S. soldiers and Iraqi police sealed off the area in Mosul after the shooting. Witnesses said the victims, in flak jackets, were beside a burning four-wheel drive vehicle.

An Iraqi official at the power station in East Mosul said the victims were British guards who were protecting foreign experts working at the station. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official said a second car carrying the experts escaped the attack.

Since they appear to be civilians, they won't be showing up on military fatality lists.
