IRAQ-BRITAIN-SECURITY-TRANSFER

A British soldier sits inside an armored vehicle outside Shatt al-Arab Hotel base during a handover ceremony in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, 08 April 2007. The British military handed over today a key base in the southern Iraqi city of Basra to the Iraqi army as part of its gradual withdrawal plans from the war-torn country. The military transferred the Shatt al-Arab Hotel base, one of five occupied by the British military since the March 2003 US-led invasion, to the 10th Iraqi Army division. In February, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that the number of British troops would be cut from 7,100 to 5,500 by the middle of this year.
