A British soldier has been killed in a small arms fire attack while on patrol in Basra, southern Iraq.

The Ministry of Defence said the man was a member of the 2nd Battalion The Rifles - formerly 1st Battalion Royal Green Jackets.

Officials said he came under fire in the Al Maqil district of Basra. He was taken to hospital but died from his injuries.

The soldier's next of kin have been told of his death.
