Coalition forces raid Mosul: Al-Jazeera
US forces conducted an air raid on Mosul in northern Iraq early Friday, which were followed by air raid sirens in the city, the Qatari Al-Jazeera television said. Conditions in the city have returned to normal. The city, which is held by the Iraqi government, had earlier been rocked by up to six to seven strong explosions. There are reportedly big oil deposits in the city. I think he means big oil storage facilities. According to CNN, a bridge divides Iraqi and Kurdish forces in Mosul. The city lies outside a Kurdish-run zone and some 100 km (60 miles) south of the Turkish border. Not many reports from the north to date. Posted by: Steve 2003-03-21 |
