Laying Low
The British troops laid low yesterday in their patrol section of Iraq, especially in the southern city of Basra. They had to stage a jailbreak of two of their soldiers, probably SAS commandos, captured by Iraqi police and militiamen three days ago. The city government has demanded an apology, restitution and promises it won't happen again. The other fallout from the British rescue mission has been Iraqi troops and police alone on the streets of Basra. Had to happen sooner or later.
