A 53-year-old British bomb disposal expert has been killed in a roadside ambush in northern Iraq.

Father-of-three Ian Rimell, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, died, and his local bodyguard was critically injured, when they were attacked on Thursday afternoon as they drove their vehicle along a main road to Mosul.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that a British national was killed on September 4 while working in northern Iraq.

"We stand ready to offer any appropriate consular assistance to family or next of kin."

Sounds like he was a target, and someone leaked the information of his schedule and route to the Islamonazis in that area.

Mideast-looking men steal airport computers Australia fears terrorists might have gained access to intelligence Two men described as being of Middle-Eastern appearance walked out of the intelligence center at Sydney International Airport with two computers, prompting fears Australia's security has been breached by terrorists.

The men, dressed as computer technicians, presented themselves to the security desk Aug. 27 as employees of a company that regularly provides service to the airport's cargo processing and intelligence center, according to The Age newspaper of Melbourne, Australia.
The men were given access to the top-security mainframe room after supplying false names and signatures, and they seemed to know where to go, the paper said.

Two hours later, the computers had been disconnected, put on trolleys and wheeled past the security desk into the elevator.
