U.S. forces move into Baghdad

A U.S. Marine guards an intersection today on the outskirts of Baghdad.

U.S. armored vehicles drove through Baghdad today, smashing through Iraq's Republican Guard to reach - at least briefly - the ultimate destination of their two-week surge across southern Iraq.

Other developments:

• Coalition flying 24-hour missions over Baghdad
• Marines engage non-Iraqi pro-Saddam volunteers
• Coalition strikes Basra residence of "Chemical Ali"
