shrapnel

Mr Hibbert had been the closest survivor to the bomber and suffered 22 shrapnel wounds.

The difference is only shrapnel, but against the super-elite, this England team invariably end up short-changed.

In September, he was injured after being hit by shrapnel from an artillery shell, and Michael said they did “skirt over the subject” of Liam returning home.

"He died before the ambulance arrived. I was told he was very unlucky, because a piece of shrapnel pierced his heart," she says, breaking down.

The sergeant, who was not identified, was shot at least twice in the legs and suffered shrapnel wounds, Casto said, and other bullets struck the car seat and his taser.
