Coalition command impose curfew Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030412-013510-4088r http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030412-013510-4088r Coalition command to impose curfew By Nicholas M. Horrock From the International Desk Published 4/12/2003 1:46 PM View printer-friendly version BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 12 (UPI) -- As gunfire echoed over this capital Saturday, the coalition command said it will impose a 9 p.m. curfew for Iraqi citizens beginning Saturday or Sunday. Until now, coalition forces have not attempted to halt looting or fighting between Iraqi groups and have only fired when fired upon. But now they said troops will begin patrolling between 9 p.m. and dawn to keep the streets clear. There were numerous small arms exchanges in the afternoon between Iraqis and Marines, and U.S. Army snipers, but no injuries to U.S. forces were reported. Meanwhile, two senior Iraqi police officers, a general and a colonel, came to meet with the Marine command at the Palestine Hotel in central Baghdad. They said they saw on television a request by the coalition for Iraqi police officers to return to duty. The Iraqi officers said some 200 policemen in this city of 4.5 million people appear willing to come back on duty. A further announcement is expected Sunday as to whether the coalition forces want to authorize these patrols. U.S. Marines have established control of some medical facilities where earlier looters were interrupting doctors. Wounded civilians and doctors were finding it difficult to reach medical facilities. One French volunteer doctor told UPI he saw a looter leaving a hospital with a microscope under each arm, while at another hospital staff fought off looters who were scaling the walls as doctors operated. Ambulances have been stolen and medical treatment has become a tool in growing fighting between Iraqis, Western doctors told UPI Saturday. U.S. forces are still not adequate to stop looting and troops often have to stand by and watch all kinds of vandalism. There are reports that the main water treatment plant has been repaired but no change in the water pressure in this area has been noticed. Copyright © 2001-2003 United Press International
