Why have the previous reports of "throats being slashed" now turned into "beaten with concrete blocks by teens?

Two different incidents I think.

I think it is the same incident. According to a report on the radio news, which I heard this morning, the vechile was fired on which caused it to crash. Then the attackers closed in quickly and cut the throats of the two soldiers in the car.

It was after that that a crowd of Iraqis descended on the car, and dragged out the bodies and threw rocks on them. The Australian journalist who reported this claimed to have spoken to eye witnesses.

Per the following Fox News Report, I think it's the same incident. Please, God, let there be only two casualties rather than four so treated....

Probably the original perpetrators used knives; those who later came upon the American bodies used whatever was at hand.
