Terrorists attacking British bases in Basra are using aerial footage
displayed by the Google Earth internet tool to pinpoint their attacks, say
Army intelligence sources.

Documents seized during raids on the homes of insurgents last week
uncovered print-outs from photographs taken from Google.

The satellite photographs show in detail the buildings inside the bases and
vulnerable areas such as tented accommodation, lavatory blocks and where
lightly armoured Land Rovers are parked.
