US warplanes strike in northern, southern Iraq: US military. WASHINGTON -- US warplanes struck air defense sites in northern and southern Iraq Thursday, retaliating for Iraqi anti-aircraft fire directed against coalition aircraft enforcing no-fly zones, the US military said. The US European Command said coalition aircraft operating out of Turkey's Incirlik Air Base were targeted by Iraqi missile guidance radar systems north of Mosul and were fired on by anti-aircraft guns. "Coalition aircraft responded to the Iraqi attacks by dropping ordnance on elements of the Iraqi integrated air defense system," it said. In the south, US F/A-18 fighters from the aircraft carrier USS Constellation struck a radar site near Al Kut in southern Iraq with precision-guided weapons, the US Central Command in Tampa, Florida said. It said the air strike was in response to anti-aircraft fire against US aircraft monitoring the southern no-fly zone, spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Mark Samisch said. * * * * Your use of Yahoo!
