CNNの報告を引用した記事ですが。
共和国防衛隊の約1000台の戦車隊が時速30〜60Kmの速度で急速に進軍中。
第7騎兵隊に向けて直進しているらしい。
砂嵐に隠れて進撃したいた模様。

Report: Elite Iraqi Column Heads for U.S. Force

KUWAIT (Reuters) - A huge column of elite Republican Guard units streamed out of Baghdad Wednesday evening heading toward U.S. forces massed near the southern Iraqi city of Najaf, CNN television reported.
"A major column including about 1,000 Iraqi mobile units that might include tanks, might include armored personnel carriers, trucks and other things are on their way down from Baghdad toward Najaf," CNN said, quoting one of its reporters who is traveling with the U.S. 7th Cavalry.
CNN said the Republican Guard were moving under cover of a sandstorm which has buffeted Iraq for the past day. It said U.S. troops were preparing for a possible confrontation within hours.
A U.S. military spokesman in Central Command war headquarters in Qatar said he could not confirm the report.
Such an Iraqi move would likely be aimed at slowing the advance of U.S. troops toward the capital Baghdad.
Citing U.S. military sources, CNN correspondent Walter Rodgers reported that the Iraqi units poured out of Baghdad "very rapidly, at 30 to 60 km per hour (20 to 40 mph) due south, on an almost straight collision course with the 7th Cavalry."
"They are some of the best (forces) Saddam has and are indeed a serious threat to the area we are in. We expect to come under attack some time this evening," he added.
