GUEST,Norman Winstanley BS: Terry Lloyd's death in Iraq, inquest (3) BS: Terry Lloyd's death in Iraq, inquest 10 Oct 06


The inquest of Terry Lloyd who was killed by American forces in Iraq, opened today.

The American military finally gave the film footage of the event to the inquiry. It has been discovered that fifteen minutes of footage is missing. This just happens to be the ten minutes before the event, and five minutes after it.

Former ITN chief executive Stewart Purvis said despite numerous requests to the Defence Secretary, the information they were given about what happened was "limited".

ITN had to send two of its own journalists into Basra to find out what happened.

Mr Lloyd, 50, died on March 22, 2003, just days after the Iraq conflict began, having crossed to the Basra area from Kuwait to work as a "unilateral" journalist operating independently from the invading coalition forces.
