If the humiliations wrought on the American’s was not bad enough now the British soldiers are cowering for cover and hiding from the Iraqi’s.
Hopes for missing UK soldiers
Two British soldiers missing in southern Iraq could be hiding, politicians and military leaders have said. The two went missing in an attack near the southern city of Basra on Sunday and search-and-rescue teams are trying to find the men. “We like to think they have dispersed and taken cover and are looking to clear their path and return to their unit,” British forces spokesman Group Captain Al Lockwood told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “Every effort is being made to find them,” Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon told a news briefing. Elsewhere British troops are coming under sniper and small arms fire as they try to secure areas in southern Iraq.
