Iraqi judge: Re-arrest British soldiers
2005-09-25
An Iraqi judge has issued arrest warrants for two British undercover soldiers who have been freed after a controversial British raid in the city of Basra. Judge Raghib Hasan accused the men of killing an Iraqi policeman and wounding another, carrying unlicensed weapons and holding false identification, said Qasim al-Sabti, the head of the lawyers syndicate in the southern city, on Saturday. Britain's Ministry of Defence said on Saturday the warrants had no legal basis. "All British troops in Iraq come under the jurisdiction of Britain," a defence spokesman said in London.
"So piss off..."

#3  Lets hope this is the beginning of a trend. With the new government in place things like a SOFA need to be in place. As the rule of law takes hold our place must be clearly defined or they will eventually make a murder case out of a friendly fire event. As much as I hate lawyers it sounds like the time is right.
