DOGWOOD DEATH TRAP

Advertisements [?]

THE Black Watch soldiers had been on their first day of patrol in the 'triangle of death' when the Iraqi rebels attacked.

Just days earlier, they had arrived at Camp Dogwood near Baghdad to support US forces - and received a ferocious welcome from insurgents.

The base, formerly under American control, has been hit by a series of mortar strikes - although until yesterday no casualties had been reported.

Eight more soldiers were injured, three of them seriously and one critically.

An Iraqi interpreter who was travelling with them is also understood to have been killed.
