Two CBS News crewmen were killed and correspondent Kimberly Dozier was seriously wounded during an attack on a U.S. military unit in Iraq.
The network has identified the dead as veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42 -- both were based in London.
The three were embedded with the U.S. Fourth Infantry Division when the convoy was struck by an IED (improvised explosive device) on Monday in central Baghdad.
In statement, CBS News said the journalists were reporting from outside their humvee at the time, and are believed to have been wearing their protective gear.
Douglas worked for CBS News in several countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Rwanda and Bosnia, since the early 1990s.
Brolan was a freelancer who had worked with CBS News in Baghdad and Afghanistan over the past year.
Dozier, 39, underwent surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Baghdad and is in critical condition. CBS News says doctors are cautiously optimistic about her prognosis.
