Archive - Iraq War: Britain's Involvement 

Magnum Photographers 

The publication of the long-awaited Chilcot Report into Britain's involvement in the Iraq War from 2003 to 2009, has concluded that the invasion was based on “flawed intelligence and assessments” that went unchallenged and the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction were "presented with certainty that was not justified". Ex-PM Tony Blair says decision for action was made "in good faith" and he will take "full responsibility for any mistakes". Magnum photographers covered the Basra region, managed by the British military, throughout the war.
