Subject: [downwithcapitalism] US, Britain bomb more Iraqi civilians
Associated Press. 20 June 2001. Iraq Claims Airstrike Killed 23.
Excerpts.
BAGHDAD -- Iraq claimed Wednesday that a U.S.-British airstrike on a
soccer field in the north killed 23 people and injured 11 others, but
U.S. and British authorities categorically denied the accusation.
The Iraqi News Agency said the planes attacked the sports field in Tall
Afar, 275 miles northwest of Baghdad, the capital. It did not say when
the attack took place, but it said the victims were buried earlier
Wednesday.
"America and it's ally, Britain, have committed a new ugly crime that
will be added to the record of their heinous crimes against Iraq," the
Iraqi News Agency said.
U.S. and British officials [following policy] denied the report.
On Tuesday, the Iraqi news agency had quoted an unidentified Iraqi
military spokesman as saying allied forces had tried to bomb a civilian
installation in the north but had been scared off by Iraqi air defenses.
Iraq had claimed hitting a plane, but U.S. officials [following policy]
denied any planes were hit during a Tuesday mission over northern Iraq.
