U.S. forces in Mosul, northern Iraq, assisting June 2, with the distribution of propane, the primary household cooking fuel.  Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division provide security at official distribution centers and help deliver fuel to outlying villages.  In addition, they are setting the standard for fair business practices.  A tank of propane sold through a distribution center should be no more than 250 dinars. When sold retail, it should be no more than 500 dinars per tank. If dealers are caught selling propane for more than 500 dinars they will be arrested.
