Just heard a British soldier on Fox explain that there is an uprising. The British plan on going in, in the morning to aide them.

The Iraqi troops are using civilians as human shields, physically standing behind their bodies, and also mortaring the population who are rising up against them.

The British soldier speaking on Fox, said they have taken out the mortars to assist, and will be there in the morning. It is a very dangerous situation, as there are a million people in Basra. (I'm writing this on my own recall.. not exact quotes).

God protect them, and may He give them great success!!

Thanks for that report Vets_Husband_and_Wife.

Paradox and George, read this report at post 650. Seems like local officers are confirming this and the Brits are going in in the morning hours over there to help, if this is accurate.

That't why there are snipers...
