U.S. Army General Guy Shields, director of the Coalition Press Information Center in Kuwait, said he had reports that reporters came under fire in four separate incidents while operating independently of U.S. or British forces.

"We have had phone calls from journalists who have called the press desk while under fire screaming for help," he told a news briefing.

"We have unverified reports that these incidents have resulted in at least three serious injuries or deaths. I'm calling the incidents unverified because we don't have any way of tracking unilateral media who have snuck across the border."

"It is a dangerous place out there."
