Iraqi officials have been using loudspeakers throughout Baghdad, telling their citizens to leave their homes and to head in the direction of the Saddam International Airport.

Actually it was the coalition, they wanted to clear the building of civilians to assist their attack.

I don't believe that night vision goggles and gas masks can be worn at the same time. This puts the coalition forces at a disadvantage during the night-time hours but its not as if the sun will never rise over Baghdad again.

The power was lost during a US/UK raid. The Iraqi's have never cut power before during the daily raids - it would be strange for them to suddenly do it now. More likely the coaliton did it to give themselves the 'night vision' advantage.
Shame about the people in Bagdad's hospitals though...
