Peter Wall, second in command of British troops, said Basra's civilians were out in the streets "in significant numbers" and were "essentially being less compliant with the regime than they are normally." "We don't know what has spurred them, we don't know the scale, we don't know the scope of it," he said. "We don't know where it will take us."

Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, leader of the Tehran-based Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, said: "Coalition forces are welcome in Iraq as long as they help the Iraqi people get rid of Saddam's dictatorship, but Iraqis will resist if they (coalition forces) seek to occupy or colonize our country."
