Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Iraq (Basra Incident).
Iraq (Basra Incident)
The loss of five brave servicemen and women is truly a terrible event. I should have thought that the immediate crowd on the ground would have been there to see whether they could help our servicemen. As the Secretary of State has stated, 200 to 300 people appeared to celebrate the downing of the helicopter. Will he explain or give some indication of what he thinks the motives of that crowd were?
