AFP. 15 April 2002. US warplanes strike site in southern Iraq. WASHINGTON -- US warplanes struck an air defense site in southern Iraq on Monday in response to Iraqi fire on coalition aircraft enforcing a no-fly zone, the US military said. It was the first US air strike in southern Iraq since January 21. In Baghdad, a military spokesman said US and British warplanes bombed civilian targets in southern Iraq but did not report casualties. "Enemy warplanes ... raided civilian installations in Zi-Qar province (375 kilometers, or 235 miles, south of Baghdad) in an attempt to harm Iraq's struggling people," he said, quoted by Iraq's official INA news agency. The raiding planes were driven back to their bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait by anti-aircraft fire and surface-to-air missiles, the spokesman said. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
