Iraq Issues Warrants for British Soldiers
An Iraqi judge said on Saturday he had renewed arrest warrants for two British soldiers who were rescued from jail early this week by troops using armor to crash through the prison walls.
The British government said the warrants are not legally binding, as the soldiers are subject to UK law.
This week’s violence in Basra infuriated local Iraqi police and government officials, and tensions remained high in the city on Saturday.
Rockets were fired at two buildings housing British officials, police said. Most of them missed their mark, and no British officials were hurt. However, two of the rockets hit nearby homes and wounded an Iraqi civilian, police said.
