US TANKS ENTER BAGHDAD
US tanks and armoured vehicles have entered Baghdad and are approaching the city centre, military sources say.
The incursion came as Marines and infantry fought to impose a 'choke hold' on the Iraqi capital. It is now thought to be almost completely surrounded.
Iraq's Information Minister has said everything is "okay" in the city and the war is swinging back in his country's favour.
A column of around 20 Abrams battle tanks and 10 Bradley fighting vehicles swept into Baghdad from the southern outskirts this morning.
