| British troops killed up to 16 Iraqi insurgents in a gun battle after their patrol was ambushed in southern Iraq, the Ministry of Defense said Saturday. The ministry said that two British soldiers were wounded and an Iraqi was taken prisoner in the firefight that broke out Friday in the Maysan province, south of the city of Amarah. A spokesman said that a two-vehicle British convoy called for back-up after Iraqi forces reportedly armed with rocket-propelled grenades opened fire. |
