LONDON, April 1, 2008 (AFP) - Britain is to delay a planned reduction of forces in southern Iraq, following recent unrest around Basra, Defence Secretary Des Browne said Tuesday.

'It is prudent that we pause any further reductions,' he told the House of Commons, saying that currently there were around 4,000 British soldiers in southern Iraq.
