| A British soldier salutes during a handover ceremony of Basra Palace to Iraqi forces, in Basra, 550 km (342 miles) south of Baghdad, September 3, 2007. British troops quit the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Monday, an Iraqi general said, ending the British presence in the oil hub for the first time since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
