In Al Furat, the U.S. 149th Infantry delivered food and humanitarian aid to over 600 Iraqi families. In Iskandartyah, an area of Iraq strongly divided between Sunni and Shia, U.S. troops have helped make for a significant drop in violence and tension in the area (a sign of how political can happen and is happening in Iraq). And in central Baghdad, soldiers of the U.S. 5th Cavalry unit deliver food and humanitarian supplies to over 70 needy families.
And, political progress: it appears the leader of the banned Baath Party in Iraq is severing ties with Al Qaeda, and will join the coalition.
