US commander Franks enters Baghdad; Bush demands end to UN sanctions on Iraq
BAGHDAD, IRAQ, 16-APR-2003: This photo released by the US Army April
16, 2003, shows the commander of US-led forces in Iraq Gen. Tommy
Franks walking through piles of rubble where a Tomahawk Missile
destroyed a portion of one of former Iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein's
many presidential palaces April 16 in Baghdad. One week after Baghdad
fell into US hands following three weeks of heavy bombing, a US
Central Command spokesman said Franks was "in Baghdad and he is
meeting with his commanders". [Photo by Us Army-David K. Dismukes,
