Friends,
Same fight, different place, same mess. This is Basra. Basra was given back to anyone who was strong enough to hold it, by the British. They retreated to a secure area and do not go into Basra. Basra is very, very close to Iran. Be very, very wary.

"Violence also broke out in Kut, Hilla, Amara, Kirkuk, Baquba and other cities."
