A BRITISH soldier died after sustaining “very serious injuries” in an attack while on patrol in southern Iraq, the Ministry of Defence said today.

The soldier was serving with 2nd Battalion The Rifles – formerly 1st Battalion Royal Green Jackets – when he came under fire in the Al Maqil district of Basra yesterday morning.

He was taken to hospital but died from his injuries, the MoD spokesman said. The soldier’s next of kin have been told of his death.

He is the 133rd member of the British forces to die in Iraq since hostilities began in March 2003 and the 102nd to be killed in combat.
