As many as 10 people are reported dead in another friendly fire incident in Iraq.
A correspondent for the B-B-C says a U-S warplane bombed a convoy carrying Kurdish fighters and Special Forces.
U-S Central Command says between two-thousand and three-thousand Iraqis were killed when American troops moved through Baghdad yesterday.
A spokesman says some Iraqi civilians welcomed the troops' arrival -- but other Iraqis chose to fight.
Explosions are jolting Baghdad again today as troops prepare for possible urban warfare.
U-S commanders warn that tough combat may still be ahead.
