A British soldier waves from a train to a group of Iraqi boys north of Umm Qasr, Iraq (news - web sites), April 19, 2003. British forces in southern Iraq relaunched a train service from the port of Umm Qasr on Saturday and aim to use it as an aid supply lifeline into the heart of Iraq. The train will be a key link between Iraq's only major port -- where thousands of tons of food aid is sitting -- and the southern town of Basra. British forces hope the track beyond Basra will soon be secure enough to carry on up to Baghdad. REUTERS/Graeme Robertson/POOL
