An Iraqi detainee shouts that he is innocent as he is guided by a national guardsman following his arrest during a joint raid in the town of Gurna, some 40 km north of Basra, October 23, 2004. Several Iraqis were arrested as British troops carried out a joint operation north of Basra early on Saturday morning with about 1,000 Iraqi security force members. The raid comes as British forces from the Black Watch regiment prepare to re-enforce areas near Baghdad ahead of a possible assault on Falluja. REUTERS/Atef Hassan HH/CLH/THI
