Iraqi snipers counter-attack in Baghdad
Rooftop snipers have been shooting down on US soldiers, wounding two - one seriously. There are reports US tanks have been spotted on the Jumhuriya bridge over the River Tigris and US armoured cars have fired cannon and machine guns across another central bridge, the Sinak. Staff Sergeant John Kelley said: "Everyone's trying to snipe us. They just came out of the woodwork with AKs." Overnight, the Marines of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines took over a prison in an industrial section of south-east Baghdad.
