| Aggressor forces capture Nassiriya air base |
| 2003-04-05 |
| US and British troops captured Nassiriya air base in south of Iraq early Saturday. News sources in Iraq confirmed the fall of Nassiriya air base, saying the US and British warplanes bombarded the base while their troops were advancing toward it. It is not clear yet whether the Iraqi warplanes exist in the base when the coalition forces were to capture it. The seizure of Samawa paved the grounds for aggressor forces to expand their air cover in south of Iraq. |
