これは非常に興味深いニュースだ。
キャプションでは英軍兵士といっているが、実は"working undedrcover in covilian clothes"（私服で諜報活動に従事中）」「警官に発砲して」逮捕されたというのであるから、穏やかではない。ずばり後方攪乱任務＝内戦挑発行為に従事していたと見るのが正解である。何でまた英軍が私服（おそらくアラブ風の人相のMI6要員だろうと推察する）が警官に発砲しなければならないのか？極度におかしいではないか？
こんなことはインチキ「自爆攻撃（自爆でさえない単なるトリックによる他殺である可能性大だ）」同様、今のイラクではきっと日常茶飯事なのだろう。BBCにまで報道されてしまってどう処理するのか？見物である。

British troops arrested in Basra
British soldiers had to jump from their burning tank
Two British military personnel have been arrested in Iraq amid claims they fired at police during a second day of unrest in the southern city of Basra.
The MoD could not confirm reports they were working undercover, adding the reason for their detention was unknown.
After the arrests, a tank outside the police station where the two were being held were set alight in a clash between British soldiers and protesters.
Troops were seen jumping from the tank and withdrew without returning fire.
Tension growing
It is not clear whether anyone has been injured.
The MoD confirmed British officials in Basra were trying to get to see the arrested men and find out why they were being held.
Protests followed the arrest of a senior Mehdi Army figure
A senior Iraqi official earlier told Reuters news agency the British military had told him the arrested pair had been working undercover in civilian clothes.
BBC world affairs correspondent Richard Galpin said tension had been growing in Basra since the arrest on Sunday of a senior figure in the Shia Mehdi Army militia suspected by the British military of being behind a series of attacks on troops.
His arrest drew crowds onto the streets of Basra demanding his release.
Our correspondent said British troops had since carried out further raids and made more arrests, sparking further unrest. But he said there were no reports of any injuries.
Violence has been increasing in the British-controlled Basra region in recent months, with two soldiers killed by a roadside bomb on 5 September and a third on 11 September.
