| U.S. planes attack site in southern Iraq |
| 2002-07-24 |
| For the second time in recent days U.S. warplanes bombed a military communications site in southern Iraq, officials said Tuesday. A brief announcement by the U.S. Central Command said Monday's attack was in response to earlier instances of Iraqi air defense forces using radar and surface-to-air guns against U.S. and British planes that monitor a "no fly" zone over southern Iraq. Monday's attack and a similar one last Thursday against the same communications target, were acts of self defense, the Central Command said. The site was near Diwaniyah, about 80 miles southeast of Baghdad. "We're warning you... Don't make us come down there!" |
