U.S. Troops Attack Baghdad Airport
U.S. troops attacked Baghdad's international airport Thursday night after pushing through the outskirts of the darkened capital.
Tracer rounds, anti-aircraft fire and artillery blasted near Saddam International Airport, 10 miles southwest of the city center, and officers of the 3rd Infantry Division, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the attack on the airport had begun.
Large sections of Baghdad lost power for the first time since the war began after huge explosions rocked the capital.
