Two British journalists working with the US television network CBS have been killed in a roadside bomb attack in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Paul Douglas, 48, a veteran cameraman and James Brolan, 42, a sound technician, were travelling with a US military patrol when their convoy was struck by 'an improvised explosive device'.
CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was also seriously wounded in the attack and is said to be in a critical condition.
Also killed in the attack were a US army captain and an Iraqi interpreter, according to the British Foreign Office.
The CBS crew was embedded with the US 4th Infantry Division when the attack occurred.
In its annual report for 2005, the Paris-based 'Reporters Without Borders' called Iraq the world's most dangerous country for journalists.
According to the organisation's latest figures, at least 95 reporters and their assistants have been killed since the US-led invasion in March 2003.
Continued unrest in Iraq
At least 56 people have been killed in a series of attacks across Iraq.
In the most serious incident, 14 people died and 17 were wounded after a bomb tore through a bus carrying Iraqis from Khalis, about 80km north of Baghdad, to Camp Ashraf.
Another 12 people were killed and 24 wounded in a massive car bombing in Baghdad's predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Adhamiyah.
Only a minutes later, a second car bomb exploded in the same district, killing five and wounding seven.
A bus was hit by a roadside bomb in the Shia area of Kadhimiya, killing seven people and wounding nine.
At least another 18 people were killed in other violence in the capital and around the country.
