130 SOLDIERS KILLED IN IRAQ - REPORTS

"The large scale battle, described as "intense", has taken place in the town of Ar Ramadi, 20 miles west of Fallujah."

"Sky News' David Chater said: "None of this is official yet - none of it is confirmed."

"But he added: "It sounds very much like this is being carried out by men who are militarily trained."

"Chater described the attack as "highly sophisticated".
