Now here's some fighting. Go, Brits!
OUTNUMBERED British soldiers killed 35 Iraqi attackers in the Army’s first bayonet charge since the Falklands War 22 years ago.
The fearless Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders stormed rebel positions after being ambushed and pinned down.
Despite being outnumbered five to one, they suffered only three minor wounds in the hand-to-hand fighting near the city of Amara.
Update:
A bit more here. Al-Jazeera has a headline calling it "mutilation", but no story. Seems some people truly don't like to be on the receiving end of a bayonet.
