U.S. SOLDIER PATROLS THROUGH STREET IN BAGHDAD, 2003-04-15 (photo)

U.S. soldier patrols a street in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, April 15, 2003. As the United States and Britain wind down their 27-day military campaign, order is only gradually returning to the Iraqi capital. U.S. forces have appealed to police, medical workers and other civil servants to help get critical services up and running. In the downtown area, several ministry buildings still smouldered from the intense U.S. bombing of the city. Others stood empty, stripped bare by looters who rampaged through the city after the collapse of the Iraqi government a week earlier. REUTERS/Gleb Garanich GG/AA
