British "Undercover Soldiers" Caught driving Booby Trapped Car
British "Undercover Soldiers" Caught driving Booby Trapped Car
"They refused to say what their mission was."


September 20, 2005
Reuters



The following Reuters report raises some disturbing questions.

Why were undercover British "soldiers" wearing traditional Arab headscarves firing at Iraqi police?

The incident took place just prior to a major religious event in Basra.

The report suggests that the police thought the British soldiers looked "suspicious". What was the nature of their mission?

Occupation forces are supposesd to be collaborating with Iraqi authorities. Why did Britsh Forces have to storm the prison using tanks and armoured vehicles to liberate the British undercover agents?

"British forces used up to 10 tanks " supported by helicopters " to smash through the walls of the jail and free the two British servicemen."

Was there concern that the British "soldiers" who were being held by the Iraqi National Guard would be obliged to reveal the nature and objective of their undercover mission?

1. I just cannot get enough of this story
Ten tanks PLUS helicopters.
Who thought that was a good idea?

2. What is an "undercover soldier"?
I've never heard that term before. Normally some-one wearing civilian clothes and carrying heavy weaponry is either called "special forces", a "terrorist" or a "criminal".

3. Just more British hijinks
fucking up yet another country. (Since they've been doing it for centuries, why stop now?) Hope it blows up in their faces.

4. Perhaps most of the "terrorist" bombings
are done by American, British and Israeli undercover back ops... For the purpose of destabilizing Iraq.
