BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Ehud Olmert
It pains me that Ehud Olmert wanted to create a media spin, and so let him go. If people in Israel had the full picture, everyone would have been against his release. You have to understand, this person sat in jail for 30 years and spent that time priming himself for a major attack. He now knows exactly where our weaknesses are

It is a bit like in England, we don't know a lot about Sacha [Alexandre's nickname] ... Does he have any money of his own? How did he get it? He came into the public domain out of nowhere, like his father. Arkadi met [life-long Beitar fan Ehud] Olmert. He asked to donate money, and the next day he was the owner [of Beitar]. In the few months he was the most famous person in Israel, he was on TV all the time and he came over quite eccentric. He was the Israeli Abramovich.
