The brother of one of the Black Watch soldiers killed yesterday in Iraq expressed anger this morning over the regiment's deployment to a new base just outside the war-torn Sunni triangle.

Craig Lowe said that his brother, Private Paul Lowe, did not believe that the Black Watch should have been deployed in central Iraq and that his family was "heartbroken" over his death.

He told reporters: "He said he didn't think he should be there because the regiment has already done their time over there, the first time, so he didn't think they should be back," he told reporters.

Asked what he thought about George Bush and the war, Mr Lowe replied: "He just thought he was an arsehole for starting a war over nothing, trying to get money and oil."
