Tony Blair yesterday ventured where it was deemed too dangerous for Prince Harry to go...Both in Baghdad and later in Basra, where he met British troops, mortars landed in the locations he visited. He brushed off the attack on the Green Zone, during which one bomb hit the British embassy compound shortly before his arrival, saying: "There are mortar attacks and terrorist attacks happening every day. We don't give in to them."
