Terry Lloyd: No charges over death of ITN reporter killed in Iraq

There will be no prosecutions over the death of ITN journalist
Terry Lloyd, killed in Iraq in 2003, after the Crown Prosecution
Service said today there was insufficient evidence to bring
charges against any individuals.

Sue Hemming, the head of the CPS counter-terrorism division,
said it was not possible to say who fired the shots that killed
the reporter, who died after a shootout in southern Iraq.

Hemming said forensic evidence indicated Lloyd was injured by
shots from Iraqi forces and then by US fire.

Lloyd, 50, and his interpreter, Hussein Osman, were killed near
the Shatt al-Basra bridge outside Basra on March 22, 2003 in
the opening days of the Iraq invasion.
