Correspondent Samia Nakhoul said the blasts occurred just as dawn was breaking over the Iraqi capital, which was hit by a blistering U.S. air attack late on Friday night. Ambulances rushed through the streets and a large mushroom cloud of white smoke billowed over the city, where fires were still smoldering from Friday's attack. © 2003 Reuters
