Asked if the Police Training Academy which had been bombed in Basra this morning was one which the Prime Minister had visited in January, the PMOS said confirmed that it was. He underlined that the attacks today illustrated the nature of the terrorism we were facing in Iraq. This was not terrorism which was aimed at one particular group or one particular part of the coalition. It was aimed at the process of democratisation and the introduction of civic society in Iraq. Asked for a reaction to reports that British troops going to the scene of the attacks had been stoned, the PMOS said that he was not aware of the full detail of the incident at this stage. However, as he understood it, the situation had been brought under control very quickly. Briefing took place at 11:00 | Search for related news Original PMOS briefings are © Crown Copyright.
