Basra returns to Iraqi control

(01:45) Report

Dec. 16 - UK hands responsibility for security in Basra province over to Iraq forces.

Britain now has 4,500 troops in Iraq, less than a 10th of the force that Prime Minister Tony Blair dispatched to help topple Saddam Hussein in 2003. Blair's successor, Gordon Brown, has said the force will shrink to just 2,500 by mid-2008.
