U.S. Jets Hit Radar in Iraqi No-Fly Zone
Iraqi forces moved a mobile radar unit into the country's southern no-fly zone and American aircraft bombed it Wednesday, defense officials said. U.S. aircraft used precision-guided weapons to target the radar system near Al Kut, about 100 miles southeast of Baghdad, officials said. An unidentified Iraqi military spokesman told the official Iraqi News Agency that the "aggressive U.S.-British warplanes attacked our civil and service installations in Wasit province ... at 11:55 (a.m.) Baghdad time. "Our courageous anti-aircraft units confronted the warplanes and forced them to leave our skies for their bases in Kuwait." "Bob?" "Yes, Albert?" "Those courageous antiaircraft units are confronting me." "What're they doing, Albert?" "Ummm... Making faces, I think." "Perhaps we should return to our bases in Kuwait."
