http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6977065.stm There's a strong belief in the British Army that the presence of the British Army there was worsening the situation - approx 90% of incidents were directed against them. It will be interesting to see what happens now as those statistics also refer to 10% that were directed at someone else.
There is always the distinct possibility that the 90% who were aiming their shots at the British troops may now be aiming at someone else.
statistics after the withdrawel. the 10% will raise to 100% but the good news is, the British 90% will drop back to 0%. in other words, this strategy will put the boys in a safer enviroment
