British Forces are looking to leave Iraq later this year and the recent peaceful elections has been seen by many as a indicator of just how secure and stable the country has become and in a recent interview Maj Gen Andy Salmon (who is the commander of the British troops in Iraq) said the months of steady improvements in the security situation in Iraq's second city, had meant the rate of violent crime and murder in Basra has fallen below some major British cities.
