Words from Amiriya (Briefing #2)

Words came this morning that the US Army vehicles were seen in Amiriya early this (Friday) morning. The US Army have also announced through loud speakers that a curfew is imposed on Amiriya starting from this morning and until further notice.

The day have been generally quiet, and there have been only one explosion that was relatively big.

A friend of the family, reached through SMS, who is situated near Khutoot Soccer Field stated that the situation is unstable in their area, known that that sector of Amiriya is a stronghold of the so called "Islamic State of Iraq" backed by Al-Qaida.
