Members of the U.S. infantry moved towards the Republican Guard barracks from Baghdad's international airport - and were met with resistance from small ammunition arms and snipers. The barracks lie between the airport and the centre of the Iraqi capital. Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, Battalion Commander of the U.S. Army said the aim of the operation was to move closer to the capital, so the coalition can "facilitate future, and possibly onward operations" from there. He said: "We're defending the airport from the movement, coming into Baghdad, and basically we're searching and attacking up the road."
