| Coalition aircraft have launched manhunt operations in the southern Iraqi city of Nassiriya for those forming strong line of resistance against intruders, according to reliable sources. Casualty toll is reportedly too high in Nassiriya and dead bodies have been scattered in different areas. Unabated air and missile raids and fierce ground battles have left nearly no hope for sustained resistance by Iraqis to prevent the fall of the city. US forces have also blocked the Shatra-Nassiriya road, cutting links between the two centers. |
