| ’Forget repairs’ US tells Iraqi military |
| 2002-11-29 |
| The US military says aircraft patrolling the southern no-fly zone over Iraq have dropped leaflets warning Iraqis for the first time not to repair equipment and facilities previously hit by allied planes. It was the fifth leaflet drop on southern Iraq in the last two months. Previously leaflets warned Iraqi forces not to fire on patrolling US and British aircraft. But this time the message was different - the 360,000 leaflets used in the latest operation were dropped on unmanned communications facilities which had already been struck. Some of the leaflets warned the Iraqis not to repair the equipment there. The others said the no-fly zones are to protect the Iraqi people. "Don't make me come back!" |
