Looting Rampant in Baghdad

Politics | April 9, 2003, Wednesday // 00:00

Looting in and around Baghdad has been reported on Wednesday by international media.

Dozens were seen hauling off furniture, fixtures and office supplies, using wheelbarrows and pickups -- with no security forces to stop them, CNN reported.

Residents in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil spilled out onto the streets as well in passionate but less-raucous demonstrations, waving flags, tossing confetti and chanting.

Reuters reported of Saddam Hussein's rule collapse as jubilant Iraqis welcomed advancing U.S. forces in Baghdad and rampaging looters attacked symbols of his power.
