Iraq: Weapons Used Against British Forces
- Question
- Whether they will publish the evidence on which the Prime Minister based his statement that information about explosive devices used against British troops in Iraq suggests the involvement of either Iranian elements or Hezbollah.
- Answer
-
As a matter of routine, we examine weapons used against British Forces with a view to determine their origins. We are withholding this information on the grounds that to release it would prejudice the capability, effectiveness, and security of the Armed Forces.
