U.S. Tanks Push Into South Baghdad
Sat April 5, 2003 12:29 AM ET
NEAR BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. tanks pushed into southern Baghdad on Saturday in the closest land advance to the heart of the Iraqi capital since the U.S.-led war started 17 days ago, military sources said.
At least 20 Abrams battle tanks and 10 Bradley fighting vehicles rumbled up the main southern highway into Baghdad on a reconnaissance mission through the Dawra suburb about seven to eight miles from the center of the sprawling capital.
The sources told Reuters correspondent Luke Baker, traveling with the 3rd Infantry Division which says it captured Baghdad airport on the southwest of the city on Friday, that the tanks had reached a loop in the Tigris River.
"It seems that they are moving to link up with forces near the airport," Baker said. Baghdad airport is about 12 miles to the southwest of the city center.
"They are trying to cut off Highway 8 (leading into Baghdad) ... and they are turning west toward the airport," he said.
There was no immediate word on any resistance or casualties from the mission. U.S. and British forces fear that they could be sucked into bloody street-by-street fighting in the city of five million.
Baker said that the tanks were a task force of two companies -- a company usually has about 14 tanks.
U.S. forces reinforced the airport overnight, the biggest prize in the 17-day assault aimed at ousting Saddam and ridding Baghdad of alleged weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies possessing such weapons.
U.S. military officials that there was no sign of a "non-conventional" attack on the airport overnight as threatened on Friday by Iraq's Information Minister.
"They can throw whatever they like at us but they're not going to defeat us," said Colonel John Peabody, commander of the Engineer Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division.
