The attack was carried out by members of the Bani Assad tribe, whose leader was assassinated on Tuesday in the southern city. The tribesmen believed senior provincial officials were behind the killing and laid siege, according to an official trapped in the besieged building. Basra Gov. Mohammed al-Waeli said one policeman was killed and four others wounded. Seven attackers were arrested, he added. The tribesmen fled after British armoured vehicles arrived.
