"Key southern Iraqi city 'wall-to-wall' with Marines

(..)

CNN correspondent Art Harris is traveling with the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Task Force Tarawa. Harris said as the battalion drove on the main road, which crosses the key bridges, he saw seven Marine vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers and Humvees, that were "lost."

(..)

As the Marine unit rolled into Nasiriya just before dawn, the main road was "wall-to-wall" with Marines, Harris reported. They were lying flat on the ground, M-16s at the ready, facing two directions. Tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and other armored personnel carriers were positioned at every intersection, he said.

(..)

Shots were being fired at the Marines from all around, and Harris said it was difficult to determine enemy positions.

(..)

Marines told Harris that they were seeing an apparent pattern developing, in which unarmed Iraqis wearing traditional robes see the U.S. forces go by, then disappear into their homes and emerge with rocket-propelled grenades and AK-47 assault rifles, which they then fire at the Marines.
