London - Britain may move some soldiers around inside Iraq, the U.K. defence minister said Monday, but denied the redeployment to more dangerous areas would be a show of support for U.S. President George W. Bush. Defence Minister Geoff Hoon said the U.S. military asked for British troops so American forces can be freed up to conduct anti-terrorism operations. Hoon's statement comes in the wake of widespread media reports suggesting as many as 750 troops from the Scottish Black Watch would move to the Iraqi capital to back up a major U.S. offensive against insurgents in Fallujah. Opposition politicians believe the British government is being asked to provide a show of support for Bush in the days leading up to the election. Alderson, W.
