	Kut
		Kut [variants: Kut al Imara, Kut al `Amarah, Kut-al-Almarah, Kut-al-Imarah] is in southern Iraq, on the banks of the river Tigris.
		Kut (an Arabic word for fort, which rhymes with foot) is located 170 km (100 miles) southeast of Baghdad, inside a southern "no-fly'' zone set up by the United States and is patrolled by U.S. and British jets.
		The strikes were in response to illumination of coalition aircraft by targeting radar and a subsequent surface-to-air missile attack on coalition aircraft in the Southern no-fly-zone on 10 April, and in response to anti-aircraft-artillery fire on 11 April 1999.

		It was badly mauled in three clashes in January (Sheikh Sa'ad on the 4th, Wadi on the 13th and Hanna on the 21st), the Ottoman army around Kut had called upon Khalil Pasha, who replaced Nur-Ud-Din as commander on January 10 and brought a further 20-30,000 veteran soldiers into the area.
		Following the January losses the British dug in but when Nixon was replaced as MEF commander by Percival Lake in February Aylmer's force was reinforced and had one last push, attacking the Dujaila redoubt on March 8 where nothing was achieved for the loss of 4,000 men.
		Kut was recaptured in February 1917 and the Allied forces went on to take Baghdad in March.

	First World War.com - Battles - The Second Battle of Kut, 1916-17
		The fall of Kut in late April 1916, when British commander Sir Charles Townshend surrendered his garrison of approximately 10,000 men to the besieging Turk force under Khalil Pasha, brought about a reorganisation of both Turk and British forces in the area.
		Until the fall of Kut the War Office in London had acquiesced in the Indian administration's management of military affairs in Mesopotamia, even though the latter's policy of an aggressive "forward defence" had caused unease among ministers in London (notably Sir William Robertson).
		Karabekir Bey, overwhelmed, authorised a skilfully-managed retreat from Kut a week later on 24 February, heavily pursued by a flotilla of naval gunboats (bringing about an action at Nahr-al-Kalek), although British cavalry was unable to provide assistance while placed under fire from well-sited machine guns.

	The attempts to relieve Kut, 1916
		Urged on by Townshend in Kut and Nixon at the rear, the Tigris Corps was compelled to a frontal attack on the Turk trenches, on both river banks.
		The 6th (Poona) Division was still besieged in Kut, and Townshend's latest report was that supplies would last 84 more days (not the 22 days he had initially indicated, which forced the urgent early attempts at relief that had cost many men their lives).
		To the shame of the British, the Kut garrison was surrendered.

		Kut pressed on however, proving supreme at the 1990 Dutch Open (1st AA, 1st V, 3rd UB, 2nd BB, 2nd FX) and competing at the 1990 US Olympic Cup (sort of like a USA vs the World meet).
		Interestingly, one often sees Kut's family name spelled "Kutj" or "Kuty." This discrepancy originated in Holland, where the term "kut" is a derogatory term for a female part of the body.
