BBC World has been showing pix of 2 Abrams tanks on one of the Bridges for about 1 hour now. They're periodically firing the main gun when they see a good target, just daring any opposition to have a shot at them.
The BBC World Reporter on top of the Palestine Hotel is now describing "fighting all around me", and is ducking during the larger blasts. According to him, he's in not much danger, the fighting's at least 500 metres away (!!).
US troops reported in the Al Rasheed(?) hotel, having taken it overnight. Fighting there may be an Iraqi Counter-attack.
BBC military analysts speculate on an attempted link-up 3rd Inf from SW with USMC from SE to cut the city in half.
Things happening even quicker than this time yesterday.
