Two British soldiers have gone missing in southern Iraq after vehicles they were travelling in came under attack.

The Ministry of Defence says its trying to find and recover the missing soldiers.

And seven US Marines were killed in the town of Nasiriya.

Unexpected pockets of resistance have appeared in the south of the country - which is where the British soldiers are missing.

Meanwhile America and Britain have accused Iraq of a "flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention" after five captured American soldiers were shown being interviewed on Iraqi TV.

Overnight, central Baghdad was hit by several large explosions during further heavy air raids.

She explained that in southern Iraq a type of guerrilla war now seems to be developing.
