This is the protective jacket that the BBC's World Affairs Editor, John Simpson, was wearing when accompanying a convoy of US special forces and Kurdish fighters in Northern Iraq, in April 2003. By a tragic error, the convoy came under attack from an American warplane. At least ten people were killed, including a Kurdish translator working with the BBC team, Kamaran Abdurrazaq Muhamed. John Simpson was himself wounded with shrapnel in his leg and bleeding on his face. Moments after the 'friendly fire' attack, in which he was wounded, John Simpson broadcast live by satellite telephone on the BBC news channel.
