Storms push deeper as troops land in Kurdish zone
In northern Iraq about 1 000 US Army troops from the 173rd Airborne parachuted into a Kurdish airbase, the first large ground force in the region as war planners seek a new front against Saddam. In the south, coalition aircraft hit a convoy near Basra while British troops ring the city to aid trapped residents. Casualties and fierce skirmishes were reported near Karbala and Nasiriyah as Marines suffered injuries and commanders warned of strong Iraqi resistance aided by mobile command and control.
