Soldiers from 51 Squadron from the British Royal Air Force Regiment patrols past graffiti that says "No Saddam" in the southern Iraqi town of Safwan April 8, 2003. Roaming bands of Iraqi soldiers were preying on invasion troops in southern Iraq on Monday while the bulk of the U.S.-led force pushed north towards Baghdad. British troops deployed outside the main southern city of Basra have come under fire from small groups of Iraqi soldiers still hiding out in areas which were supposed to have already been brought under control. A group of around 10 Iraqi soldiers armed with RPGs were reported close to the town of Safwan near the Kuwaiti border late on Sunday, sparking an after-dark security operation.
