Greg Kelly's unit came up on the freeway from the south, rolled through the southwest side of Baghdad, brushed just to the west of the Tigris River(where it loops to the west and Baghdad U.), and then west into the airport. Faced regular but moderate resistance. About 4 hours ago Ollie had entered Baghdad from the southeast on the east side of the Tigris river, other units are advancing from the southeast(arnot's unit) and still facing some firefights. Best I can tell, a unit went east from the airport towards Saddam's palace/ruling complexes in the center city on the west bank of the Tigris.
