Americans, Iraqis, Work to Restore Electricity

By Jackie Northam

Baghdad's Al Durah power station provides electricity to about half of the city of five million. It's been shut down since it was hit by a U.S. airstrike over a week ago. Now, U.S. troops are working with Iraqi engineers to bring it back on line. NPR's Jackie Northam reports from Baghdad.
