Britain drops Iraq withdrawal plan

PLANS to withdraw substantial numbers of British troops from Iraq next month have been abandoned after the explosion of violence in Basra on Monday night.

"We are not planning a withdrawal," a senior British defence source said yesterday, referring to a plan to hand over control of two southern provinces to the Iraqis.
