ITV crew missing in Iraq
ITV News correspondent Terry Lloyd is among those missing
Three members of an ITV News crew are missing after they came under fire on their way to the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
Efforts to find British TV reporter Terry Lloyd, cameraman Fred Nerac and local translator Hussein Othman are underway, following the incident at Iman Anas.
Another member of the team, cameraman Daniel Demoustier, was injured, but was able to make it to safety.
He was not able to see what happened to his colleagues.
'Every effort'
The team had been on their way to Iraq's second city in two vehicles.
ITV News said: "There were British and Iraqi forces in the area at the time.
"Coalition and Iraqi military sources have been unable to confirm their whereabouts.
"Every effort is being made to establish what happened."
Chemical bomb
News correspondent Terry Lloyd joined ITN, which makes news for ITV, in 1983.
He has wide-ranging experience, including stints in Lebanon, Kosovo, Bosnia and Cambodia.
He reported from the Iraqi city of Halabje, after Saddam Hussein dropped a chemical bomb on Kurdish people inside the country.
News of the attack came as officials announced that US and UK forces had captured Basra, Iraq's second city.

IIRC something similar happened last time. The Iranians sensibly accepted it was an inevitable mistake that occurs in War time.
Good on em. They seem annoyed about abusing airspace, but sensibly are not making a bit thing about 1 missile. I guess they also know better than most.

Kuwait City air raid warning.
The journalists express surprise that Kuwait City is still a target but an Al Hussein missile (Scud varient that Iraq is alledged to still possess) has a range of 600Km. But Baghdad - Kuwait city is only 312 miles (560Km)
So until the war is won Kuwait City is at risk.

No pictures yet so looking less likely by the minute.Originally posted by Ex-RoNiN
My Russian mate just told me that Russian media are reporting a downed allied plane over Baghdad
Apparently, the journalist has been to the crashsite and saw a parachute.
Confirmed?
As it stands, it wasnt the Kurdish Fighters that carried out the attack, is was some Kurdish fighters that got killed in it.
