Three Britons die in Iraq attacks

The latest eruption of violent attacks in Iraq has left three Britons dead, a BBC correspondent reports.

The three UK civilians were working in the country for private sector organisations, the BBC's Jim Muir said.

A vehicle carrying them and an American civilian, who also died, was wrecked in the suicide bomb blast at a checkpoint manned by US troops.

The attack took place on the edge of the heavily protected "green zone" in the heart of Baghdad.

2. I propose a change..

.. in how we refer to Iraq from now on.

Since we don't count the Iraqi civilian deaths there, and most of the news is about the GREEN ZONE, henceforth..

Country = Green Zone = Grone
Population = Americans/Britons = Ameritons
