September 18, 2003 19:47 IST
Up to eight US troops were feared killed on Thursday in an ambush in Khaldiyah in Iraq.
There is no official word on the number of soldiers killed. A report from the spot said a military truck was possibly hit by a missile.
There was intermittent firing from the 50-calibre machine gun of a tank stationed near the smoldering truck.
It appeared the troops were trying to protect themselves until reinforcements arrived.
