Map - Jolan Streets

The above pic is an approx. 6 block sector of the Jolan District. It gives some idea of the terrain in which the battle is being fought. Below, The Belmont Club quotes a new's source - and don't forget to check with Chester for updates. Also, more pics to come tonight.

Earlier, a US tank commander said guerrillas were putting up a strong fight in the north-western Jolan district. "These people are hardcore," Capt Robert Bodisch told Reuters news agency. "A man pulled out from behind a wall and fired an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) at my tank. I have to get another tank to go back in there."

"I can see heavy street-fighting from my house in the center of the city -- US soldiers are here, moving from house to house", according to BBC reporter Fadil Badrani.
