[Bill Hemmer, Cnn Anchor:] Anderson and Carol, we had anticipated a CENTCOM briefing out of Qatar in about 20 minutes, 7:00 your time there back on the East Coast, but now we know it has been delayed at least an hour. Want to get down to Qatar right now and join CNN's Tom Mintier for more on that and the news out of Doha today. Tom, hello and good afternoon.
[Tom Mintier, Cnn Correspondent:] Good afternoon, Bill. One of the pieces of information that will definitely come up in the briefing is military sources here tell CNN that the bridges leading up to Baghdad, in and around Baghdad, have been rigged with explosives and wired to be detonated. Intelligence sources apparently providing this information. We were told about this in the last couple of hours that the bridges leading into Baghdad, and we do have some animation that gives you a better idea about how many bridges and overpasses there are coming into the city. This could definitely impact operations if indeed these bridges go down and they don't have the ability to cross over them when they make their way into Baghdad. So we did hear from Walt Rodgers when he was crossing the Euphrates, the bridge that he crossed on was supposedly rigged with explosives but was not detonated.

[Hemmer:] All right, I think we're losing your signal there, Tom, I'm sorry. Tom Mintier down in Qatar. If we get him back, let's do it. If not though, don't think we're going to get him. Tom Mintier, again, live in Doha. Once again, an hour and 20 minutes from now we'll hear from Central Command and possibly more about the images that we're now seeing out of Baghdad about this neighborhood that was hit apparently by cruise missiles, about a dozen dead according to the reports on the scene there. More on all that coming up here still. Back to you guys down at the CNN Center.
[Anderson Cooper, Cnn Anchor:] All right, Bill.
[Carol Costello, Cnn Anchor:] Thanks very much. Bill Hemmer reporting live from Kuwait.
