10月21日,英国内阁一致同意了英国防总参谋长迈克尔·沃克提出的关于重新部署驻伊英军的建议。850名驻巴士拉的英军官兵将被派驻到巴格达西南的“死亡三角洲”。虽然布莱尔政府一再保证这支以苏格兰高地警卫团为主的战斗部队在那里执勤的时间仅为几个星期并接受英军的指挥,但是这一部署决定仍遭到了军人家属的强烈谴责和军方高层的不安。果不其然,北上英军11月4日在巴格达附近巡逻时便遭遇袭击,3名英军士兵身亡,另有多人受伤。
On October 21, the British cabinet unanimously approved the proposal by British Defense Chiefs of Staff Michael Walker to redeploy the British troops in Iraq. 850 British soldiers stationed in Basra will be stationed in “Death Delta” southwest of Baghdad. Although the Blair Administration has repeatedly promised that the combat unit, mainly the Highland Guards Corps, will serve only for a few weeks and will be under the command of the British Army, this deployment will still be strongly condemned by the military families and the military High-level upset. As a matter of course, North British troops were attacked while patrolling near Baghdad on November 4, killing three British soldiers and injuring many others.
