British Tanks Attacked in Basra
Just been sitting watching Sky News as they showed footage of a tank being attacked in what appears to be an organised effort. Crowd used at least 6 petrol bombs which forced the crew to exit the tank. I saw one guy being forced to the ground with large rocks hitting him before he is set upon by the crowd.
Does anybody know if the crew are ok i.e are they back in safe hands? Horrific scenes, not what you would expect in Basra.
Trouble seems to have started as Iraqi Police arrested two plain clothed British Soldiers who had shot at several other policemen (sketchy info). Photos of the two Brits have been released by the Iraqi authorities, very clever.
