(On top of a building, no lights anywhere in sight. The reporter stands in the dark and there is the sound of gunfire in the distance.)
"About thirty minutes ago, a gunfight broke out between Iraqi security forces and an unknown force, most likely fighters of the Shia fundamentalist Islamic Dawa Party. The fighting appears to be in Saddam City, the mainly Shi'ite suburb of Baghdad. It is home to over 3,500,000 Shi'ites from all over Al Anbar."
"Just about ten minutes ago, during the height of the battle, the power was shut off to, what it seems, the entire city. We are not sure what exactly is happening and our sources at the Ministry of the Information either is not willing or they themselves do not know what is happening."
