SAYLIYA CAMP, Qatar (Reuters) - A column of Iraqi tanks and armored personnel carriers poured south out of the Iraqi city of Basra on Wednesday and came under attack from U.S.-led forces, a British military spokesman said.
"There is an armored column that came out of the southeast of Basra down the Al Fao Peninsula and it has been engaged. We have no battle damage information," the spokesman said.
Asked about the size of the column, which some reports put at up to 120-strong, he said: "That has got to be an estimate."
