UK soldier dies in action in Iraq (BBC)
UK soldier dies in action in Iraq

A British soldier has been killed in Iraq after being injured in "hostile action", the Ministry of Defence says.
"We regret that a soldier from 12 Mechanised Brigade has died today from injuries sustained in hostile action," a spokesman said.

No further details would be released until next of kin had been informed, the spokesman added.


The latest death takes the number of UK servicemen who have died in the Iraq conflict to 87.

Prime Minister Tony Blair said he sent his "profound condolences to the soldier's family".

2. Blair says "sorry about your luck"
But Bush and I thought the need to replace Saddam Hussein with an Islamic theocracy was pressing, so we lied about WMD and your son died as a result.
