130 SOLDIERS KILLED IN IRAQ - REPORTS


A Pentagon source has said up to 130 US troops have been killed in
fierce fighting in Iraq.

The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the
town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah.


Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of
it is confirmed."

But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by
men who are militarily trained."

Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated".

Considering the official score is 20 US dead, around 10 Coaliiton
dead, and over 100 Iraqis, I think we can see where the 130 figure
comes from.

Meanwhile Russian TV reports that second US helicopter was shot down today
and a bunch of US POWs were captured.
