I wouldn\'t believe one word from the Iraqi command. I\'ll wait for confirmation.

vid can we make this thread a sticky or something.
it would be better to post any news here rather than have many threads for individual news.

also a couple of more explosions have been heard over baghdad just now.

also a report of an explosion near centcom in Doha turned out to be false, all it was an accident at a car crushing company.


(thanks for making it a sticky :))

the iraqi\'s have claimed that they captured the pilots which they say have ejected over baghdad (but info about this is a bit sketchy, so i really dont think its true).
also i heard something pretty interesting on abu dhabi\'s news channel, they said that saddam has offered  50million dinars to anyone who captures a coalition pilot and 25 million dinars to anyone who captures a soldier. (i\'m sorry i don\'t know the exact exchange rate but i think that it comes out to 20k$ and 10k$ but again i\'m not really sure)

Yes, one reporter said he could hear a massive fire fight in the city (along the river I think he said). Right after that he said they announced that they had captured one pílot, he did not know in what state the pilot was (dead or alive).
This can be a propaganda thing as well though, that they arranged a fire fiight.

Are those in Iraqi Dinars? I get these figures via XE.com

50 000 000 IQD = 160 823 416
25 000 000 IQD = 80 411 708 USD

Somehow I doubt those figures :p

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
