  • Hi, FG
    What about ITAR-TASS news agency?
    (My translation)
    "Cairo, March 23. /ITAR-TASS journalist Andrey Greshnov)
    Arab chanel "Al-Alyam" just said that 20 American paratroopers were captured in Baghdad during landing.
    No other sources confirmed it yet.

        • I dont want to crowd this thread with commentary anymore.
          But Itar-Tass is also known for somewhat bogus reporting during the kosovo crisis aswell. Please quote credible sources.

          • "ONDON, March 23 (Reuters) - A British aircraft went missing after completing a mission in the Gulf region, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said on Sunday.

            "An RAF aircraft has gone missing after an operational mission in the Gulf," the spokesman told Reuters.

            The spokesman said he could give no further details and did not know the type of aircraft involved or where it disappeared."

              You mean pro-American sources?
              No way. ITAR-TASS is the oldest Russian news agency and it's fine, as for me.

              • Fine but know that most of it is being made up.

                Turn to Fox, about 12 Iraqi soldiers surrounded in house in Umm Quasr

                Update. Its still on, BMP or BTR fired on marines behind berm (ON live TV). BMP was elimated. 3 Iraqi inhabitants dead. 4 US tanks surround the building about a 1/4 a mile away

                  Russian Media is under heavy government influence, and the Russian Republic itself has only been around for just over a decade. It doesn't quite have the same international reputation CNN and BBC do.

                    • Yes, but it seems to be a minor firefight. About 10 soldiers. On TV it simply seems to be a mopup mission.

                              • Yep... looks like I was wrong... CNN has also said there are 120 Republican Guard in there. But apparently the Commander has surrendered.
