Lights out.
Large sections of the Iraqi capital lost power Thursday as loud explosions could be heard on the outskirts of the city.I'll bet it's darkest where the 3rd ID is coming in Whatta wanna bet that the 3rd is closer than the 5 miles previously reported? The explosions persisted for nearly 15 minutes before the power went off â the first widespread electrical failure in the city since U.S. bombardment began two weeks ago. The reason for the loss of power was not immediately clear. However, U.S. troops from the 3rd Infantry Division were reported to be 15 miles south of the center of Baghdad. Maybe Geraldo can tell us where the 3rd ID is FOLLOWUP: From the radio, Gen. Meyers speaking live... Gen. Meyers says we're not the ones who put out the lights — power grid wasn't targeted. They're looking into it. Posted by: Mike N 2003-04-03 |
