British Forces radio reports atrocity near Basra
I don't have a link for this--(The link on the title is for the general site.) but I just heard a report at around 09:30 GMT (12:30pm in Iraq) from a BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Services) embed. She interviewed a commander stating unequivocally that his soldiers witnessed some 2,000 cizilians attempting to leave the city. What the officer described as "irregular Iraqi forces" opened fire on these unarmed Iraqi civilians as they attempted to leave Basra.
