The Iraqi forces fired multiple surface-to-air missiles at warplanes on patrol, the Germany-based U.S. European Command said in a statement. Coalition aircraft responded to the Iraqi attacks with bombs, the statement said. All planes left the area 250 miles north of Baghdad safely, it said. The planes are based at Incirlik air base in southern Turkey. On Saturday, Baghdad said three Iraqi civilians were wounded when U.S. warplanes bombed the same region during patrols of the no-fly zone. Saturday's attack was carried out in response to Iraqi artillery fire. U.S. and British planes have often targeted Iraqi military sites since Iraq began challenging the patrols in December 1998. Baghdad does not recognize the no-fly zones, which were set up after the 1991 Gulf War to protect Shiite Muslims in the south and Kurds in the north from the forces of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. © Copyright 2000 Associated Press ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unlike any Steaks you've ever tasted...Filet Mignons from Omaha Steaks!
