( 2003-11-17 13:57) (AP)
Wide areas of the Iraqi capital lost electric power early Monday, but the reason for the outage was unclear.
Power went off around midnight local time and was still off nearly eight hours later. The U.S. compound and some major buildings were lit by generators.
A U.S. military spokesman said the coalition press center was operating on generator power. He could not explain the reason for the outage.
