-Caveat Lector- Your tax dollars at work (or how my impeachment "bombed.") flw World Telegraph ISSUE 1322 Thursday 7 January 1999 UN agencies tell of wayward missiles By Alan Philps, Middle East Correspondent LAST month's British and American air strikes against Iraq destroyed an agricultural college and a grain silo containing 2,600 tons of rice, cut off water supplies for 300,000 people in the capital, Baghdad, and damaged a dozen schools and hospitals, United Nations agencies have said. In Baghdad, the agencies reported that explosions near a maternity hospital and the Saddam Medical City, a hospital complex across the road from the old defence ministry building, which was extensively targeted during the raids, left windows and doors shattered, and ceiling tiles displaced. Parts of the Health Ministry were damaged, while the gatehouse of the Labour and Social Affairs ministry took a direct hit, injuring two guards. The two agencies - the UN Children's Fund, Unicef, and the World Food Programme - are involved in implementing the oil-for-food scheme, under which the proceeds of Iraqi oil sales are used to buy food and medicine and upgrade schools, hospitals and other infrastructure. Unicef has asked the UN sanctions committee in New York to allow Iraq to import water treatment material. It said a stray cruise missile hit the Karrada district of Baghdad, rupturing a water main. In the southern city of Basra 10 schools suffered damage to windows, doors and electrical systems. DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
