Army's Best Troops Mutiny
London Daily Telegraph
August 26, 2006
A miserable day for British forces in Iraq was made worse yesterday when a battalion of the Iraqi army's 10th Division in Maysan, deemed by its British trainers to be the most professional in the province, mutinied.
Men from 2nd Bn surrounded their officers and fired shots after learning that they were to be deployed in Baghdad. Discipline was only restored when the order was rescinded.
