American troops took Mosul after little resistance and prepared for continued fighting in western Iraq as the remnants of Saddam Hussein's regime were dismantled. Officials pledged to curb looting in Baghdad and other areas while President Bush questioned whether Saddam was alive and said he is no longer in power. Tikrit remained the largest major city outside coalition control. Warplanes bombed Iraqi forces as planners mapped the next phase of action.
