Ice accumulation blamed for Heathrow Boeing 777 crash landing?

Following the Boeing 777 accident at Heathrow last week, the American
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just released an
Airworthiness Directive (AD) with the following title:- (Note that the
engines referred to are SPECIFICALLY Rolls-Royce which will be a major
blow for the Derby operation.)

[This AD has been issued] to prevent internal engine damage due to ice
accumulation and shedding, which could cause a shutdown of both
engines, and result in a forced landing of the airplane.
This AD becomes effective February 27, 2008.

Note that at this time the UK AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation
Branch) has not confirmed the finding.
