A  US army report reconstructing the chaotic events of March 23 - the
third day of the war - said an officer's unexplained navigational error
led the US army's 507th Maintenance Corp into an ambush in southern Iraq
that ended in the deaths of 11 soldiers and the capture of six.

Private Lynch received numerous injuries - and four comrades riding with
her were killed - after their Humvee utility vehicle was hit by a

at a speed of roughly 45mph, officials said.

Private Jessica Lynch, the US soldier rescued by a special forces from an
Iraqi hospital, was injured in a rocket attack after the convoy she was
travelling with took the wrong route, it was claimed today.
A US army report reconstructing the chaotic events of March 23 - the third
day of the war - said an officer's unexplained navigational error led the
US army's 507th Maintenance Corp into an ambush in southern Iraq that
ended in the deaths of 11 soldiers and the capture of six.

Private Lynch received numerous injuries - and four comrades riding with
her were killed - after their Humvee utility vehicle was hit by a
rocket-propelled grenade and crashed into another vehicle in their convoy
at a speed of roughly 45mph, officials said.

The report assigns no individual blame but it makes clear that trouble
began when the unit's commander, Captain Troy King, took the wrong route.
