Deploying a large number of soldiers along a road outside Baghdad, U.S. troops sternly interrogate and check passersby and passing motor vehicles. An Iraqi man is placed under custody as a suspect for bringing more than seven millon Iraqi dinars with him. After U.S. President Bush declared the end of military operations in Iraq, U.S. soldiers are still highly nervous about sporadic shots fired by snipers.
