EXPLOSION ROCKS US BASE

An explosion has rocked a US navy base in Bahrain, reports say.
The blast happened at the US Navy 5th Fleet base.

The cause was not clear.
Security officials at the scene said it may have been a bomb, reports said.
But an Information Ministry official said the explosion was caused by a cooking-gas cylinder.
They said it caused alarm but no injuries or serious damage.
The explosion occurred outside a compound housing Americans across the street from the base, about 100 meters away.
Windows were broken in several villas inside the compound.
A forensic team arrived and police blocked off the site.
Some 4,000 US military personnel are attached to the base.

LE MONDE: Explosion near the 5th American Fleet

- 20 h 06 : Explosion près du siège de la Ve flotte américaine

Une forte explosion d'origine indéterminée a été entendue lundi soir près de la base de Joufair (est de Manama), au Bahreïn, où est situé le siège de la Ve flotte américaine, selon des témoins. La déflagration a secoué, vers 22 heures locales, les habitations situées à proximité de la base, mais il n'était pas possible de déterminer dans l'immédiat si l'explosion s'était produite à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de la base.

From a BBC reporter in the area:

Iraq - Kuwait border :: Kylie Morris :: 1610GMT

We have just been told that 40% of the water supply has been returned to Basra. The water and electricity there have both been cut off since Saturday.

What the coalition forces have been dealing with over the last 24 hours is artillery fire from the city. It is quite heavy artillery fire.

The British are accusing the Iraqi fighters of placing their artillery operation on top of the citizens of Basra. This is a highly undesirable situation for the British forces who are trying not to cause harm to civilians.

Just to give you a small window into Basra, some of my colleagues from the Arabic service have been talking to family members in the city.

They say there are staying in their homes, that they are fearful of going out. They say the streets are busy with fighters, believed to be members of the Ba'ath party.

It looks like there are rough days ahead for Basra.

SOLDIER KILLED IN RIOT

A British soldier killed in southern Iraq was shot by rioting civilians, it has emerged.


The soldier died this morning after being shot yesterday near the city of Basra, military officials said.

Two more are still missing after fierce fighting in and around the city.

The dead soldier, whose name was not released, was killed near Al Zubayr in southern Iraq, a British military official at Allied Central Command in Qatar said.

"Next of kin have been informed and further details will be given when they become available," the official said.

Latest Saddam broadcast raise 'live' doubts...
quote:
But he made no mention of the capture of American POWs on Sunday near Nasiriyah, which was broadcast by the state-run television.

CANNED SADDAM?
And when he cited several units and commanders, saluting them “for their heroic feats in the battlefield,” he named the commander of the 11th Iraqi Brigade in Basra, who surrendered along with many of his troops in the early hours of the war. That prompted officials at the allied Central Command in Qatar to conclude that the tape was likely recorded before the beginning of the hostilities.



March 24 — Saddam Hussein appears to be on the move and in control, says former American embassy defense attache in Iraq, Air Force Lt. Col. Rick Francona.



White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said nothing in Saddam’s Monday speech proved it had been made since the beginning of the war.
“I think there are some doubts about whether that tape is canned or was fresh based on recent events,” Fleischer said. “It would not be a surprise if Saddam Hussein had some time ago put in the can numerous statements designed to be released later.”
U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Saddam would have to make a specific reference to a recent event to prove he’s alive.
Officials say it is highly unlikely Saddam would use a double to give a speech; the Iraqis know such a ruse would probably be detected. Look-alikes, officials said, are more useful in motorcades and similar functions that don’t require public speaking.
British Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon came to a similar conclusion in a briefing on Monday.





• Some targets in the sights of bomber and missile crews.




“As far as the pictures this morning are concerned, obviously analysis continues. But what I can say straight away is that those pictures were not live,” he told a London news conference.
Hoon added that Saddam’s health made no difference to the military campaign.

Heh, looks like I was right about my estimate of force dispositions.

From CNN.com

Blair reports that US V Corps units are approaching IRG Medina near Karbala, and two bridges across the Eurphrates have been taken intact.

********

The bridges' location isn't given, but undoubtedly they're the main bridges east from An Najaf on the eastbound road to Ash Shamiyah and the northbound road to Al Hillah.

My guess is that 3 ID is now in or close to the open desert between lakes ar Razazah and al Habbaniyah, as part of a move to surround, isolate and destroy IRG Medina before it could retreat into Baghdad. There's only two ways from Karbala to Baghdad, and one of those is now held, plus we have no reports on 3 ID movement for two days now, so there's plenty of time for them to have positioned themselves in the northwestern line of retreat for IGR Medina.

Guardian: Australian Forces killing elite Iraqi troops

Australians 'kill elite Iraqi troops'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Stor...,921035,00.html

The 500-strong Australian Special Forces Task Group today said that it had taken out two of President Saddam's command and control centres, killing some of the Iraqi leader's elite soldiers. Reports would only say the centres were "deep inside Iraq".

Two Iraqi command and control centres for ballistic missile systems and anti-special forces operations were reportedly destroyed.

An important note to add to that is it's Gen. Barry McCaffrey, former commander of the 24 ID in GW I, which was the most agressive, best performing division in the war, and the primary force that shredded IRG Tawakalna outside of Basra. McCaffrey has a lot of credibility as a soldier's soldier and all around solid ass-kicker.

The Washington Post reported before the beginning of the war that the Powerpoint presentation given to the officer corps detailed estimated casualties. When they were detailed, the officer corps was said to have been sobered.

I guess there's a speed/casualties tradeoff or something.

Analysis: How allies are winning on ground,
Iraqis on TV
After four days of fighting, the Iraqis have chalked up successes on the propaganda front, while the coalition has made achievements on the ground: A corps with a fleet of
helicopters is approaching Baghdad, and its hold on western Iraq is deepening. For the first time since the war's outset, the fleet has begun air attacks on one of the Republican Guard divisions.
===
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/276384.html
====
American television stations CNN, NBC and CBS reported Monday that U.S. officials said the Iraqi leadership has drawn "a red line" around the map of Baghdad and that once American troops cross it, Iraqi Republican Guards have been authorized to use chemical weapons, Reuters reported.

While a senior Pentagon source said he could not confirm
the reports, NBC said its information was coming from intelligence officials who based it on intercepts of Iraqi communications.

Three comments on the situation
========================
. "I have a dream: When it's all over, let's take all the broadcasters and news program hosts, with their idiotic questions and their interviews - with that professor from Haifa who practically lives in Saddam's brain, with that school chum of his, with their psychologists and psychiatrists and self-professed experts and anyone who has a mouthpiece on the face of this earth - and shut them up in a sealed room for a week. Let's make them listen nonstop to everything they've pumped into our heads: the contradictory reports and the hellish scenarios plunging us into despair. Let them hear themselves 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If any of them survive that torture, at least they'll know what life looks like on the other side of the microphone."
