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

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? 

A report of Al Jazeera TV, which preceeded the raid on the prison,
suggests that the British undercover soldiers were driving a booby
trapped car loaded with ammunition. The Al Jazeera report (see below)
also suggests that the riots directed against British military
presence were motivated because the British undercover soldiers were
planning to explode the booby trapped car in the centre of Basra:

[...]

An indepth independent inquiry should be ordered by Britain's House 
of Commons into the circumstances of this event.

Apparently, the UK Ministry of Defence is using the "Sergeant Schultz 
Defence" and knows nothing about British forces storming the prison. :)
