Iraq, Baghdad: abitanti inneggiano a Bush in quartiere nord
Centinaia di abitanti ad Hababiyah, un quartiere settentrionale di Baghdad, hanno accolto oggi l'ingresso delle forze Usa che avanzano, ormai da ogni direzione, verso il centro della capitale, gridando: "Viva Bush, Viva Bush". Lo riferisce un giornalista della France Press.

BAGHDAD (AFP) US troops rolled into Saddam City, Baghdad's teeming Shiite suburb, as Iraqi soldiers abandoned their positions amid predictions that the city was about to fall to US forces.
In Saddam City, people were seen breaking into shops and homes to steal furniture, food, electrical equipment and carpets.
Unconfirmed reports said residents among the heavily-armed population of well over a million in Saddam City had forced out the Fedayeen Saddam militiamen before the arrival of the US troops during the night.
A BBC reporter in Baghdad reported "scenes of jubilation" in northeastern and eastern sections of the Iraqi capital as US troops advanced.
"There's no one there to stop them" from welcoming the troops, reporter Andrew Gilligan said in a live broadcast, quoting "reliable sources known to the BBC."

Journalists watched young men and boys sack the United Nations headquarters in the Canal Hotel to the east of the city centre. One witness saw looters ransack sports shops around the bombed Iraqi Olympic Committee building, formerly the headquarters of Saddam's elder son, Uday.
No more Saddam Hussein," chanted one group, waving to troops as they passed. "We love you, we love you." One young man ran alongside a Marine armoured personnel carrier trying to hand over a heavy belt of ammunition. An older man made a wild kicking gesture with his foot, saying "Goodbye Saddam".
