US, Brits bomb sites in northern Iraq
U.S. and British planes patrolling a no-fly zone over northern Iraq bombed Iraqi air defense systems in response to anti-aircraft fire. It was the first time U.S. and British planes have bombed Iraq's north since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The bombs were dropped after Iraqi forces northeast of Mosul fired on a routine air patrol.
Near routine background noise. It'll get out of the background noise category if they ever hit something, which'll probably occur by accident.
