Just monitored on Sky News: embedded reporter says Shiites in Basra have begun, in his words, a "popular uprising" against the Saddam forces still in the city. British Army units are "pouring" artillery into the city (likely isolated areas) preparing to move in.

After reading the other threads about Basra this morning, this is great news!
Give 'em hell, Brits!

This is great news for Allied Forces and very bad news for the Saddam regime.
To: Kimlee
Hope it's true but I'd wait to hear it from a few other sources...according to Fox, Basra fell 5 days ago...whoops.
