BRITISH SOLDIERS LISTEN TO PADRE CONDUCTING SERVICE IN KUWAITI DESERT, 2003-03-16 (photo)

British 3 Regiment AAC, 16 Air Assault Brigade from Camp Eagle in Kuwait listens to Padre Mark O'Keeffe, chaplain to 3 Regiment AAC, conduct Sunday morning service for the battlegroup. U.S. President Bush, British Prime Minister Blair and Spanish Prime Minister Aznar will hold a meeting in the Azores on Sunday, which many U.N. diplomats see as signalling the countdown to war, as Iraq goes onto a war footing by dividing the country into four military zones in a move aimed at "destroying any foreign aggression".
