Site Bombed After Reported Attack

U.S. warplanes bombed an Iraqi communications site in the northern “no-fly” zone after being fired on by Iraqi antiaircraft artillery, a U.S. military statement said. Air Force F-16s and F-15s dropped laser-guided bombs on an intelligence and operations center used by Iraqi forces to process radar information and target allied planes, the U.S. European Command said in a statement. The command is based in Stuttgart, Germany. The Iraqi communications center is southeast of the city of Mosul, about 250 miles north of Baghdad. All planes left the area safely, the military statement said.
