CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: 11:13 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, 7:13 Thursday morning in Iraq: CNN's Ben Wedeman reports that the situation in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul is extremely tense. He says U.S. forces control only two buildings, and the rest of the city is in no man's land. Clashes between U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians in Mosul have killed at least 10 people in the past two days.
2:03 a.m.: CNN's Michael Holmes reports from Baghdad that electricity is starting to return to the Iraqi capital, which has gone two weeks now without power. Six small substations were brought online today, and various neighborhoods will take turns getting rolling supplies of power.
3:04 a.m.: Michael Holmes brings us an exclusive interview with Mohammed Al Zubiedi, who says he has been elected chief executive of the Council of Baghdad. Zubiedi says he was elected by community leaders who set up the first civil administration in the city, and his priority is security. He appeared with his vice chairman and translator, who is on the right of your picture.
6:11 a.m.: Leaders of the European Union meeting in Athens hold a conference and reaffirm their commitment to help in the reconstruction of Iraq.
6:34 a.m.: CNN's Rula Amin in Baghdad says even though power substations are coming back online, Baghdad's main power grid is still a long way from being restored. She says one main problem is the lack of a central authority to coordinate efforts that people working to restore electricity are doing it on a volunteer basis.
