Bomb expert killed in Iraq
A 53-year-old British bomb disposal expert has been killed in a roadside ambush in northern Iraq.
Ian Rimell, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, died near the city of Mosul.
The married father-of-three was killed and his local bodyguard seriously injured when they were attacked on Thursday afternoon, as they drove along a main road to the northern Iraqi city.
Mr Rimell, who was working for the British-based charity Mines Advisory Group (Mag), was driving in a vehicle with the distinctive Mag emblem when the gunmen struck.
