US Marines advance after held up on Kuwait border


SOUTHERN IRAQ, March 21 (Reuters) - U.S. Marines invading Iraq were held up near the Kuwaiti border for two hours on Friday, but advanced again after calling in artillery support.

"The unit is rolling again," Reuters witness Adrian Croft said. "It was pinned down by a firefight, but the resistance has been overcome.

"The Marines called in two M1 Abrams tanks and Cobra helicopters, which surveyed the area, but it seems British artillery had already suppressed the firing. All the buildings there were destroyed," he added.
