Witnesses said the planes struck a residential neighborhood, a grain silo, a construction materials warehouse and a building of the traffic department. "The airplanes fired 10 missiles, some of which struck buildings with direct hits," one witness told an AFP correspondent at the scene. Three large craters could be seen near the damaged buildings, as well as downed power lines. The Iraqi who was killed, Ihssan Sabri, 25, was buried later Saturday in the presence of the local governor, Ayyad Khalil Zaki and other dignitaries, the correspondent said. Of the 20 people injured, 17 were treated in hospital and released. Details were not given on the nature of the injuries to those listed in serious condition. As-Samawah is located 275 kilometers (170 miles) south of Baghdad. There are nearly daily clashes between Iraqi forces and the US and British warplanes that are enforcing no-fly zones in the north and south of the country. Baghdad, which does not recognize the flight restrictions, says US and British warplanes have killed 301 Iraqis and wounded 920 others since December ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] FREE SHIPPING OR FREE SUNGLASSES at wonderfulbuys.com!
