Troops press Najaf and Basra actions amid war concerns
U S led forces ring Najaf with the 101st Airborne set to root out paramilitary inside the city while Marines secure Iraqi infantry bases in Nasiriyah. A Marine UH Huey crashed killing three and injuring one near a refueling point in southern Iraq. Officials reported British troops pushing toward Basra outskirts as Operation James unfolds. US officials said airstrikes reduced Republican Guard capacity and Powell voiced confidence in the plan.
