Iraqis Call Attacks on British Troops Acts of Revenge

British commanders in southern Iraq give local Iraqi leaders 48 hours to hand over the gunmen responsible for two incidents Tuesday that left six British soldiers dead and eight others wounded. Local Iraqis say the attacks came in response to heavy-handed British rule. NPR's Deborah Amos reports.
