US Marines kick in a door while securing a building next to the main
hospital in central Baghdad April 15, 2003, which will be used as a
temporary Iraqi police headquarters. Thousands of guerrillas, including
Iraqis loyal to Saddam Hussein and foreign fighters, pose a threat to
U.S. troops and complicate efforts to bring stability to postwar Iraq,
defense officials said on Tuesday. "There are still hazards lingering
throughout the country of Iraq," Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks told a
briefing in Qatar. REUTERS/Jerry Lampen
