| British Defense Ministry confirmed on Monday that four of its soldiers were wounded in a mortar attack on a military camp in Amarah southern Iraq early in the day. The attack was launched about 4:30 a.m, 180 miles southeast of Baghdad, said a British Defense Ministry's spokeswoman. One of the British soldiers was badly wounded in the leg and had to be taken to a hospital where he underwent a surgery, but the others' injuries were not as serious, said the spokeswoman. The mortar attack came after two British soldiers were killed and a third injured by a roadside bomb in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Saturday. The death toll in Iraq hits 111 as roadside bomb killed two soldiers. British Defense Minister Desmond Browne expressed utter sorrow over the incident. He added Britain will continue supporting the Iraqis until they are able to run their country's affairs without any foreign interference. He stressed on the fact that British forces will stay as long as the Iraqi government wishes them to do so. |
