ITN reporter Terry Lloyd was shot in the head by American troops as he was being driven to hospital, the inquest into his death was told yesterday.

An account by an Iraqi witness claimed Lloyd was still alive after the original attack on his car but was killed by US troops as he was driven from the scene.

The unnamed driver's account, which was read out by the deputy assistant coroner for Oxfordshire, Andrew Walker, at the inquest in Oxford, gave new details of the last moments of Mr Lloyd's life.

It also came to light that British forces witnessed the events of March 22 2003 in which Lloyd and his interpreter, Hussein Osman, died and his French cameraman, Fred Nerac, went missing near Basra in southern Iraq.

1. Not suprising

Wasn't it Torie Clarke who got up at the podium before the war and said that any unembedded reporters could become targets? I guess instead of "could" she really meant "will"
