The Sun (UK) has an article on the presence of special ops forces inside Baghdad.
Two hundred SAS, Delta Force and CIA paramilitaries were last night behind enemy lines in Baghdad - and about to slit the throat of Saddam's regime. Battle commanders have ruled out a full advance into the capital to avoid bloody street-fighting and heavy civilian casualties. Instead the Special Forces teams - also including SAS squads from Australia - will become the enemy within. They have been working undercover for weeks both in and around the capital, using local defectors as their guides. Their plan is to meticulously take out Saddam’s Special Republican Guard, the Special Security Organisation - the thugs of the secret police - and the ruling Ba'ath Party executive.
