WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. and British warplanes bombed sites in southern
Iraq Sunday, killing four people and wounding five others, Iraq's air
defense command said.
The U.S. Central Command in Florida said coalition aircraft struck
three targets in southern Iraq, including Samawa, on Sunday. The
planes -- U.S. Air Force F-16s -- fired precision-guided munitions at
radar and communications sites.
The attacks were in response to Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery fire at
coalition planes patrolling the southern ``no-fly'' zone, Central
Command said.
It said all aircraft returned safely to base.
The official Iraqi News Agency quoted an air defense spokesman as
saying, ``War planes bombed savagely one of the service facilities in
Abu al-Khasib, Basra province, resulting in the death of one person
and the injury of two (others).''
Iraq uses the term ``service facility'' to refer to water and
electricity supplies.
The spokesman also said the aircraft attacked a farmer's house in
Qurna, Basra, killing three people and injuring three.
U.S. and British planes patrol ``no-fly'' zones over northern and
southern Iraq that were set up after the 1991 Gulf War to protect
rebels from Iraqi air attacks.
