Has anyone heard anything more about the Battle of Nasiriya?

This is all I have at the moment:

American forces also pounded the strategic town of al-Nasariyah with heavy artillery after fierce battles and ambushes on Sunday left at least 10 Americans dead, 12 wounded and 16 missing. They succeeded in moving a light armoured battalion through the city and across the Euphrates, opening a second route to Baghdad.

I've not been able to keep up much today.

Last I heard was in the AM they still were battleing resistance there and in Basrah. These battles were flare ups after foreward troops had moved out to B-dad.
