Iraq Says It Hit Allied Warplane. Excerpts. BAGHDAD -- Iraq hit an allied aircraft patrolling the no-fly zone over northern Iraq on Friday, the official Iraqi News Agency reported. The Pentagon denied the claim. The aircraft "was seen leaving the skies with black smoke coming out of it," an unidentified Iraqi army spokesman was quoted as saying. He stressed the plane was not shot down and headed back to Turkey. Allied aircraft patrol the no-fly zones over southern and northern Iraq, which were established after the 1991 Gulf War to protect Shiite Muslim rebels in the south and Kurds in the north. British and American jets enforcing the no-fly zone over northern Iraq are based in Turkey. Iraq does not recognize the no-fly zones and has been challenging allied aircraft since December 1998. * * * * Your use of Yahoo!
