It's looking increasingly like the Basra police are in the pockets of local militias. It's a different situation to that in Baghdad where the police are being targetted by Sunni insurgents.

Of course, in order to be "soldiers" they must be in "uniform".In a statement, Brig Lorimer said that under Iraqi law the soldiers should have been handed over to coalition authorities, but this failed to happen despite repeated requests.Last edited by Vanguard; September 20, 2005, 13:44.VANGUARDComment

According to the report I heard, one Iraqi policemen was killed in the firefight between the two SAS soldiers and the police as they were "arrested". No Iraqis were killed in the storming of the police compound, the rescue of the SAS soldiers or the subsequent rioting- though some were injured.Originally posted by Krill

BBC confirms the men were undercover SAS and that the Iraqi government repeatedly ordered the both the governor of Basra and the local police to release the British soldiers but they repeatedly refused and instead handed the men over to the Mahdi. The UK had surveillance and saw when the men were moved and ordered a strike shortly there after.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

The photograph of them in the first link I posted showed them captured and still in most of their uniforms. It appears they were wearing their uniforms under a dishdasha.Originally posted by Vanguard

That's a tricky legal issue. If you wear a uniform under something, are you still in uniform? I think not, because the whole point of being uniformed is to be easily distinguished.Comment
