BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair paid a surprise Christmas visit to British troops in Iraq on Thursday.
Tight security surrounded Blair's fourth visit to Iraq since the March 2003 invasion, with a news blackout in place until he touched down from Kuwait, for fear of attacks by insurgents.
