American forces in Baghdad continue to meet fierce resistance, despite appearing to control large parts of the city.
US aircraft have attacked non-Iraqi Arab forces and remnants of Iraqi forces loyal to Saddam Hussein in the western Mansour district of Baghdad
Heavy fighting took place earlier on Thursday near the al-Azimiyah Palace close to a mosque where Saddam Hussein was rumoured to be hiding. US marines are reported to have searched the building and tunnels running underneath it
Looting has continued, with people ransacking buildings and taking away anything they can carry. The German embassy, the French cultural centre, a bank and the offices of Iraqi Airways have all be overrun
Residents say supplies of food are running out, petrol is not available, and prices have rocketed. There have also been widespread power cuts
