As British forces continue to besiege Iraq's second largest city of Basra, Fedayeen militia begin attacking civilians who are trying to flee through humanitarian corridors. As a show of force, aiming to stop this behaviour and shorten the siege, British 1st Armoured Division launches two Thunder Runs into downtown Basra.
