US, Iraqis to start joint patrols
BAGHDAD (AFP) Apr 13, 2003
 US troops will start joint patrols with Iraqi security forces in a bid to restore order to the capital hit by looting after the fall of the Baghdad regime, a US spokesman said Sunday.

Marine Staff Sergeant Jeremy Stafford, a spokesman for the civil affairs program, could not give a date for the start of the joint patrols but said talks were under way with Iraqi security officials.

"The intended plan is to have joint patrols with one Iraqi car along with one of our Humvees," Stafford said.
