<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>LONDON (AP)</STRONG> - Britain's Foreign Office said
Monday it was investigating the loss of a satellite phone in Iraq, amid reports
it was stolen by insurgents who ran up a $890,000 US bill. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The telephone, registered with the British Embassy in Baghdad,
was barred from use in June after the company which leased it noticed
discrepancies in the billing pattern. </FONT></DIV>
