Russian envoys 'caught in crossfire'
A convoy of Russian diplomatic cars shot at while leaving Baghdad was caught in crossfire between US and Iraqi forces, a Russian TV journalist travelling with the convoy has said.
Alexander Minakov, speaking from the Iraqi-Jordanian border, said the convoy was passing Iraqi positions on the edge of the city when it came under heavy fire.
He said the Iraqis were shelled by coalition forces and returned fire.
It is not clear whether the shots that hit the convoy came from US or Iraqi forces, but Russian media reported that two bullets from the stomach of one victim came from an M-16 semi-automatic assault rifle, used by US marines.
The US and Iraqi ambassadors in Moscow were summoned to the Foreign Ministry following the incident.
The matter is expected to be raised with US National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, who has arrived in Moscow for talks with top Russian officials to be held on Monday.

Accidents happen I guess - but I'm curious as to whether the convoy informed
both sides of their route and departure time. It appears not - and if they didn't, then they only have themselves to blame...
