Baghdad

Some old satellite images from Baghdad...

Here's Saddam's main Presidential Palace.
I believe this was Saddam's Official Residence.
Iraq's Unknown Soldier Monument.
Saddam International Airport.
The traffic circle in the center of this image is Firdos Square. That's where the famous statue of Saddam was pulled down. The big building to the northwest is the Palestine Hotel, where most of the press was (is?) staying. Just south of the Palestine is a building that used to be the Ishtar Sheridan. I'm not sure what it is today. There's a small mosque to the east of the square.

Like the images of Paris, there's no corresponding Google Map. Finding anything is a matter of finding another map and trying to figure out what you're looking at. There's a lot of interesting images here, but it's hard to figure out what some of this stuff is. This was identified on one map simply as "Clock Tower." I'm not sure what this is, but it's very near where the Iraqi Air Force Headquarters is supposed to be.

More images as I figure out what they are...
