NEW IRAQI NOTES DELIVERED

  The Washington Post had an article about the delivery of the
  new Iraqi currency.

  "U.S. armored trucks fanned out yesterday across Baghdad
  on final deliveries of the new currency, which does not bear
  the face of ousted President Saddam Hussein and is due to
  be put into circulation tomorrow.

  Convoys drove through the crowded streets of the capital,
  escorted by Humvees from the 1st Armored Division and
  helicopters hovering overhead."

  "Large planes have been flying into Baghdad from London
  several times a week for the last two weeks to transport the
  new currency. Smaller planes have been delivering new bank
  notes to Mosul in the north and Basra in the south."
