An handout graphic issued by the Britain's Ministry of Defence on March 28, 2007, illustrates global positioning data that shows 15 British sailors and marines were well inside Iraqi waters when they were captured by Iran last week. The incident happened 1.7 nautical miles within Iraqi waters, Britain's Deputy Chief of Defence Staff, Vice Admiral Charles Style, told a news conference. [Reuters]
