| U.S. Jets Hit Iraqi Radar Site in 'No-Fly' Zone |
| 2002-05-20 |
| U.S. warplanes on Monday attacked an Iraqi air-defense radar in response to threats against American and British jets policing a "no-fly" zone in southern Iraq, the Pentagon said. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold told a news briefing U.S. warplanes used precision-guided weapons to attack an aircraft-directional finding site. All of the planes departed the area safely and there was no immediate assessment of damage to the target, he said. The target was located at as-Salman, about 170 miles south of Baghdad. Another routine whack. |
