Commanders to decide stay period
AS SAYLIYA CAMP (Qatar), April 7: U.S. commanders who pushed into central Baghdad with tanks on Monday will decide whether or not to remain in captured areas of the city, the U.S. military said on Monday.
“These are tactical decisions,” Brig Gen Vincent Brooks said at a news conference at Central Command in Qatar when asked if forces, spearheaded by 65 tanks, would seek to retain positions in the city.—Reuters
