Interesting. I went to other news sources to confirm it. Sorry, but after the BBC's gaff on insisting to report the US forces were not in Baghdad (when we were all watching footage of them at the airport), and their subsequent chastising, I don't trust their news on Iraq. They're still one of the most reliable sources, it's just that with Iraq they are openly unabashedly and stubbornly anti-US and UK, and it jades their reporting.
