This is dreadful LotF. I just heard about it a wee while ago on the news. More details are coming out since my post. Seems they toppled into a canal at the side of the road.
I'm disgusted really. Cameron should distance himself from Obama and his politics on this war and stand up and say we're bringing our troops home now.
I did some web snooping then the EU ref and Def of the Realm blogs appeared with more info.
Its been a crappy week.
The death toll this year is only 7 short of all of last year already
