U.S. ground troops on Thursday crossed into southern Iraq from Kuwait as bomb shells fell.
Reporters traveling with the 1st Marine Division into Iraq saw burning oil wells that sent a black cloud into the night sky under a nearly full moon. The Marines also had some skirmishes with Iraqi troops.


There were no immediate details on the size and makeup of the entering force, or the location of incursion.


In the hours before crossing the border, the Marines put on their full chemical suits — masks, gloves and full combat gear — three times in less than two hours because of Scud missile launches into Kuwait.
