Kyle, shall I repeat the reference?

It was today's speach of Iranian Majlis deputy from suffered region.
This news was aired yesterday but he is first Iranian official who confirms it.

And you are right they claim that Iraq hits them by some missiles too.

Sure enough, programming resumed half an hour later. State television, which monopolizes Iraqi airwaves, then

BBC is not sure if the movement of Iraqi armours from Basra is a counter-attack to recapture ground lost over the last two or three days, or possibly a tactical retreat from Basra because of the possibility of an uprising in the north of the city.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2889635.stm

I shall add that today the IRNA - Iranian news agency - reported that Iraqis counter-attack coalition troops in that region and broken the siege lines.

Sky-News:

A British man fighting for Saddam Hussein has surrendered to the Desert Rats in Iraq.

The man, in his mid-20s, told the Irish Guards he was from Manchester and wanted to return home - to claim benefits, the Guards claimed.

Born in Iraq, the unidentified prisoner, who speaks in a Mancunian accent, is currently being held in a prisoner of war camp in the south of the country.

A source within the Irish Guards said: "He told us he wanted to fight for the Iraqis because he didn't agree with what Britain and American are doing.

SAFWAN, Iraq (Reuters) - Scores of Iraqis chanted slogans praising President Saddam Hussein as soon as reporters got off buses accompanying a convoy of Kuwaiti aid trucks to the southern town of Safwan on Wednesday.
"We sacrifice our souls, our blood for you...Saddam," the residents sang. "Saddam will not fall, Baghdad will not fall," said one Iraqi, giving his name only as Haidar.

They mentioned that the first objective would be to fly in their equipment to reinforce the 173rd position, and that it was likely that this airport would be used to bring in more forces later. I don't remember them naming a specific unit, but that doesn't mean much.

Now the real thing:
==
US raid 'may have caused deaths'
Iraq's information minister shows what he says are the remains of a coalition missile
A bombing raid in Baghdad may have resulted in civilian casualties, coalition Central Command has acknowledged.

A statement issued by the Qatar-based HQ said the Iraqi missiles were hidden in a residential area less than 100 metres (300 feet) from homes.

Iraqi officials say at least 14 people were killed and 30 injured in explosions in the busy Shaab district of northern Baghdad during an air raid.
But the situation is still confused - with a later Pentagon briefing saying it is still not clear what caused the blasts in Shaab.
