DEFENCE Secretary Des Browne arrived in Basra today on an unannounced visit to British troops in Iraq.
The Ministry of Defence said Mr Browne was on a "general visit" to the country, but declined to say how long he would be there.

Britain's remaining 4100 troops in Iraq are confined to a base at Basra Air Station after handing over control of the city itself to local authorities in December.
