Meanwhile, an additional 120 British soldiers were due to arrive in Iraq from their base in Cyprus. "They will be arriving here overnight. The exact time obviously depends on the flight from Cyprus," British military spokesman Major Niall Greenwood said Saturday.
"They are going to be reinforcing the multinational force in the southeast based in Basra and they are going to be involved in a variety of tasks, all of them related to security."
