Nonembed Chris Allbritton e-mail from Tikrit

Chris Allbritton from Tikrit:

TIKRIT, Iraq — We made it inside the city limits, about 5 km from the city center, before we got shot at. (...) we saw many, many cars streaming from the direction of Tikrit, including a number of media cars. Several drivers motioned for us to turn around and by the third time, I was sufficiently freaked out to pay them some heed. We turned around and caught up with a truck full of men. As we sped along the highway, they told us the Arabs had started shooting at everyone in sight, and that Tikrit was not safe.
