62 US troops killed in the past 30 days-ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and Cameraman Dough Vogt seriously injured yesterday
Two soldiers were killed Sunday and one Marine was killed Jan. 27 in three separate incidents in Iraq. U.S. ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff and Canadian cameraman Doug Vogt, seriously injured in a roadside bombing in Iraq yesterday, were being treated by a trauma team Monday at a U.S. military hospital in Germany. "They're both very seriously injured, but stable," Col. Bryan Gamble, commander of the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in western Germany, said at a news conference. Gamble said the two were heavily sedated and under the care of the hospital's trauma team but did not describe their injuries, saying he did not have permission from family members. The British Ministry of Defense has admitted that it issued misleading figures for the number of British soldiers injured in Iraq after a Scotsman investigation found that they were wildly inaccurate.A study of reports from Iraq filed over the past three years found reference to 263 wounded soldiers, but uncovered evidence to suggest that the MoD routinely under-reports casualties. Military analysts believe that the true figure is closer to 800.
