• Ambushed U.S. Soldiers' Tale of Survival • Desert Hospital Treats Wounded In the Field • Anti-Tank Missile May Give Iraq Extra Punch

— BAGHDAD (Reuters) - At least six new blasts rocked the outskirts of Baghdad on Friday morning following a night of intensive bombing in and around the Iraqi capital, a Reuters reporter said.

Some anti-aircraft could be heard as the explosions pounded areas to the east and south of the capital, correspondent Nadim Ladki said.

Residents said it was one of the heaviest nights of U.S.-led bombing yet seen in the war, now entering its ninth day.
