French news headlines:Le Monde: Mossoul taken, post-war in question. Pretty standard summary, except with special note on Turkish nerves about Kurdish involvement in the fighting in the north. Turkey had their chance to help us out in the north and blew it. Tant pis pour eux.
Le Figaro: Mossoul in coalition hands, anarchy in Baghdad. Specifically, two American soldier were killed, one in fighting and one by a suicide bomber. And the city is not wholly under US control yet.
Libération: Baghdad, "dangerous" city: Ministries afire, suicide attacks, etc, make it still a less than safe place to be. But Libé also has At Basra, the stench of death in the jails, which looks at the torture in Saddam's jails. The worst, from the sounds of it, small cells in which many were loaded up, denied food and water, and left to die standing up.
