The Beeb is off the trolley, again. still!
JFM just read Andrew’s post, and its links, below; leave it to the Beeb to give everyone their version of the news, right or wrong. Elsewhere on the ‘Net, there are differing reports that make a lot more sense. One can be found right here. Since it had been agreed quite some time ago that US forces would NOT occupy the areas around the holy sites in Najaf, the Coalition can hardly be blamed for the security being less than adequate.
Of course, with the Beeb, that would not suit their political leanings, so they forgot to tell you that.
