Sapper Jamie Maddock, a Bomb Disposal expert from 20 Field Squadron,
Royal Engineers clears a route through a minefield at an undisclosed
location in southern Iraq in an image released March 25, 2003. U.S.
troops killed hundreds of Iraqi soldiers near the city of Najaf south
of Baghdad without losing a man, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, as
reports emerged of a possible popular uprising against Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein in the southern city of Basra. REUTERS/POOL/RAF/Cpl Paul
