The UK Government is willing to pay compensation for the casualties and damage caused in Iraq when two British undercover soldiers were freed.

During clashes on 19 September, the Army stormed a Basra police station.

The British consulate and a committee of Basra’s council issued a statement announcing the offer and expressing regret at the casualties.

British opposition MPs voiced concern at the move, stressing support for the actions of UK troops. Several Iraqis were killed or wounded when the police station walls were knocked down, and in a demonstration in Basra.
