BBC Reporters' Log: At war in Iraq: "Martin Asser, Baghdad:
I've just arrived in Baghdad after a seven hour journey from the Jordanian border.
As we'd been led to expect there was American control over the entire route. We also saw an Australian military convoy in the desert.
But on the road out of Baghdad we saw hundreds - literally hundreds - of vehicles coming out filled with looted goods. They could barely move they were so loaded down. We saw a fire engine weighed down with steel rods.
When we got into the actually city we saw buildings that had been reduced to rubble.
We saw American soldiers patrolling the streets in small numbers and lots of Baghdad residents out strolling around. All quite normal except for the incredible amount of rubble and debris all over what used to be very clean streets.
"

First S. Korean Troops Leave for Iraq: "South Korea dispatched 20 military officers to Kuwait Thursday as an advance team for 650 non-combat engineers and medics scheduled to join the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq within the month.
