US choppers guide forces into southern Iraq


According to CNN News, US-British forces are on the move in southern Iraq. Multiple explosions have been heard from the direction of the city of Mosul, and flares can be seen on the horizon.

The US convoys are moving under the guidance of helicopters in southern Iraq to put pressure on the southern city of Basra. US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield has reiterated America's determination to rid Iraq of the Saddam Hussein regime.

The official Kuwait news agency earlier reported that US and British forces had taken the Gulf port of Umm Qasr and that British Royal Marines commandos had landed on the Fao peninsula south of Baghdad. But Iraq has denied the report of the fall of Umm Qasr.
