US "psychological" sweep through defences
By Richard MacGregor in Doha

The 25 mile (40km) sweep through south-west Baghdad by two US tank groups early on Saturday morning was the deepest incision so far by coalition into the Iraqi capital.

But for US commanders, it was less about the fierce battle it provoked with Saddam Hussein?s remaining military forces, including elements of the so-called Special Republican Guard, the Iraqi leader?s personal division.

US military officials described the operation in psychological terms, as an aggressive statement both to the regime and the residents of Baghdad that Mr Hussein no longer controls the capital.
