| Basra airport attacked |
| 2002-09-29 |
| Iraq said on Sunday U.S. jets had raided Basra's civilian airport for the second time in a week, targeting its radar systems and the passenger terminals. "Planes of the American enemy targeted and destroyed for the second time the civilian radar system of Basra airport," an Iraqi Transport Ministry spokesman said in a statement to the official Iraqi News Agency. According to the spokesman, the attack on the airport in Basra took place at 12:45 a.m. (0845 GMT) on Sunday. Not having any military targets in Iraq, we're reduced to attacking civilian airports in the search for more innocents to toast... The U.S. Central Command confirmed the attack and said it had targeted a military mobile radar. Oh. Never mind... |
