Reuters reported that local British commanders made their move after they learned the two soldiers, described as special forces commandos dressed in Arab clothing, had been handed over to local militia. "From an early stage I had good reason to believe the lives of the two soldiers were at risk," British Army Brigadier John Lorimer said in a statement to the media in London.

...Dr. Walid Al-Zubaidi flatly said that Iraqis now are sure that the British occupation forces are responsible for the many terrorist attacks that killed thousands of Iraqis, in an attempt to create and expedite a Sunni-Shi'i civil war in Iraq, hoping that such a civil war will serve them to stay there as an occupying power.

Al-Zubaidi said this is one of the most important piece of evidence implicating occupation forces in several terrorist attacks against Shi'is and Sunnis. He listed several of them in which the police and witnesses said that occupation forces committed them. But in the past, there was no evidence. Now, these two British terrorist soldiers have presented the evidence that Iraqis have been looking for.

Now, of course we have no evidence that this is the case, but more than a few people think this whole business of increasing violence in Iraq is, indeed, a MIHOP exercise.
