BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Three British soldiers have been killed during hostile action in southern Iraq.

The British command says the clash occurred in the southern city of Amarah, located north of Basra.

A British spokesman says more details will be released later today.

Iraqi police say a British patrol was hit by a roadside bomb.

Britain's force is largely based in the mostly Shiite southern Iraq, where support for the Shiite-led government in Baghdad is stronger.

Don't think that Zarqawi didn't plan this to try to get the British government to leave Iraq. And, it won't be the only attack he does in the next two months on UK troops. The blood is on the hand of those in the UK that have been demanding they leave even the same day they were attacked.

The cowardly religion of peace terrorist won't stand up and fight like real men, they have to slither around and hide bombs then slither out like the CS's that they are.
