Flames and smoke could be seen coming out of the building in Basra in southern Iraq, as sirens from within the hotel, taken by British troops as headquarters, could also be heard, according to eyewitnesses. British helicopters were seen extensively hovering in the sky, as damage to the base was not clear yet. |
