It appears that the poms are not as discriminating or disciplined as the Aussie forces.
British TV company ITN says three members of one of its television crews are missing after coming under fire in southern Iraq - possibly from British artillery.
The crew, which unlike most journalists covering the war was unattached to any US or British unit, had come under fire at Iman Anas, near Basra, while driving towards the port city in two vehicles.
One crew member who escaped said the firing was coming from the direction of British forces' positions, and in London the Ministry of Defence said they could have been caught in crossfire.
