Black Watch Soldier Killed in Iraq, Two Others Hurt, MoD Says

Black Watch Soldier Killed in Iraq, Two Others Hurt, MoD Says
Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- A British soldier from the Black Watch regiment was killed and two others injured in an incident near their Camp Dogwood base south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the Ministry of Defence in London said.

``We can confirm one fatality and two injured,'' a ministry spokesman said in a telephone interview. The dead soldier ``may'' have been killed in a roadside bomb, the spokesman added.

Last week three U.K. Black Watch soldiers were killed in an ambush, Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram said.

1. That's 4 dead out of the 800 moved there last week

That seems like a pretty severe casualty rate (that's not including wounded). Blair will not be popular for his most recent tail wag to the chimp.
