British forces are searching for the gunmen who killed six of their comrades in southern Iraq on Tuesday. The soldiers were shot in the town of Al Majarr al Kabir during gunfights with local demonstrators protesting what they considered to be aggressive tactics by the British in the search for heavy weapons. But Prime Minister Tony Blair has ruled out sending more troops to Iraq saying there are enough in the country now to do the job.
 “ Already we ’ve obviously taken down the British troop requirement to some 46,000 there during the conflict. There ’ s now as I said 14,000 in theater. Exactly when those troops can come home, I can not be sure. ”
