Continued from page 1
Injured Russian diplomats and a
convoy of America’s Kurdish
comrades in arms were among
unintended victims caught in
crossfire and friendly fire
Sunday. Kurds said 18 of their
own died in the mistaken U.S.
air strike.
Assorted prizes fell into
Allied hands, some after hard
fighting, but U.S. forces had yet
to confront Baghdad’s last-ditch
defenders on a large scale.
“They are extremely weak
ened, but that does not mean
they’re finished,” Pace said of
the Republican Guard.
Southeast of Baghdad,
Marines seized one of Saddam’s
palaces, poked through rem
nants of a Republican Guard
headquarters and searched a
suspected terrorist training
camp, finding the shell of a pas
senger jet believed to be used
for hijacking practice.
U.S. forces consolidated
positions around Baghdad and
declared they controlled all
highways in and out — a day
after raiding the capital and
killing perhaps several thousand
Iraqi shooters, by rough U.S.
estimates.
Pace said the Republican
Guard’s main weapons systems
are gone and the force probably
cannot assemble more than
1,000 men in any one place.
On another vital front,
British troops thrust to the cen
ter of Basra, Iraq’s second
largest city, with a sense they
were finally shaking Saddam
loyalists loose.
British Desert Rats went
into the city of 1.3 million with
more than three dozen tanks
and armored cars, a column
similar in size to the American
unit that probed suburban
Baghdad, then got quickly out.
But the British found resistance
softer than expected, picked up
reports that the local Baath
Party leadership was crumbling
and fought into the core, losing
at least three soldiers and find
ing their arrival cheered by
hundreds of citizens.
“We have a lot of it occu
pied,” British Maj. Gen. Peter
Wall told the BBC. Ho said it
might take days to put down
renegades.
In chalking up military gains,
the United States accelerated a
campaign of persuasion, too,
aimed at getting the Iraqi
Republican Guard to give up.
And Washington’s attention
began turning to postwar Iraq.
Pace said the United States
would welcome Republican
Guard division commanders and
troops in a postwar government if
they surrendered now.
“I mean, there’s a small
clique around Saddam Hussein
who are the perpetrators of all
the crimes against humanity,”
Pace said on ABC’s “This
Week.”
“Below them are still many
senior leaders and troops who
have their free will to decide
what their life is going to be like.
