BBC under US influence?

Undercurrents letter to BBC news

Dear BBC news

I have been watching BBC 24 today and am wondering why the attack on US troops is being called a 'sophisticated attack'(repeated on your website as a quote but not attribued to anyone) Bombs under tanks and trucks is some of the oldest battle strategies known.

It sounds like your reporters are falling into the trap of repeating US propaganda to justify when they lose their own men.

A sophisticated attack in my minds would be using laser guided bombs with pinpoint accuracy only killing the bad guys. But then we all know that this is also US propaganda so lets not fall for this one eh?
