A roadside bomb has killed two British soldiers in southern Iraq.
The Ministry of Defence said two members of the Queen’s Dragoon Guards were killed in Basra at 1830 BST on Sunday, and two others were injured.
The attack comes a day after British forces seized what they described as their largest cache of weapons yet.
It brings the UK death toll in May to nine, after five were killed when a Lynx helicopter crashed and two others died in a roadside bomb.
At the weekend, President Jalal Talabani urged Iraq’s new government to help improve security in the Basra area.
