LONDON, Mar 24 2003 (IPS)

Two British soldiers were missing after coming under attack in southern Iraq, a spokesman for the British Defense Ministry said today.

"We can confirm that two soldiers are reported missing following an attack on British vehicles in southern Iraq," the spokesman further said.

"Efforts are being made to find them and recover them," he added.

Earlier the British Defense Ministry said eight British soldiers were killed or missing after their helicopter crashed on Friday.

The number of British soldiers who were killed as a result of human mistake or by friendly fire reached 14 since the US and Britain launched their war against Iraq last Thursday.
