   The nearly six months of British army occupation in Basra has been a
   season of killing. After riots last month, crime and violence have
   spiked in September. Hospitals report a rising toll of people killed
   or injured in carjackings, robberies, feuds and unexplained attacks
   with guns or grenades. But with U.S. officials and international media
   focused more on the Sunni-led guerrilla war against U.S. troops in
   central Iraq, Basra's violence has gotten little attention.
