UK Troops Storm Iraqi Jail to Free Brit Soldiers

Guardian UK: "UK troops used tanks Monday to break down the walls of a prison in the southern Iraqi city of Basra and free 2 undercover Brit soldiers who were seized earlier in the day by local Iraqi police. An official from the Iraqi interior ministry said half a dozen tanks had broken down the walls of the jail and troops had then stormed it to free the 2 British soldiers. The governor of Basra condemned the "barbaric aggression" of British forces in storming the jail. Dozens of Iraqi prisoners also fled in the confusion." Hmm, when the Coaltion troops clash w/the Iraqi police... ya know this can't be a good sign.
