IRAQI gunmen danced over the bodies of their victims near Baghdad yesterday in a gruesome celebration after an attack on a fuel convoy.

As the vehicles burned, one rebel battered a corpse with a tyre jack while another stole a dead man's boots and held them up in triumph.

They had attacked the US fuel convoy with rocket-propelled grenades and guns in a strike that left up to nine men dead and a pall of black smoke hanging in the sky. One US soldier was reported killed.
