British troop withdrawal in Basra
Sep 2 2007

British troops have begun leaving Basra Palace, pulling back to the city's airport.

The final contingent of 500 were making their way to the airbase to join the 5,000 UK forces already stationed there.

The move marks the end of a full-time British presence in the city...

Basra is the last of five provinces in the UK's sphere of operations in southern Iraq yet to move to local Iraqi control, with British forces left in an "overwatch" role.
