Spy38W 0 #2 August 27, 2002 American and British planes bombarded the north and south of Iraq: American and British planes effected(carried out) two assaults, one of them against the airport of Mosul, to 400 kilometres of Baghdad, and other one on An Nukhayb, to 200 kilometres of the Iraqi capital.

The spokesman added that " the glasses of the zone of loading(shipment) of the airport were destroyed " and told that the airport received the impact of two missiles with a difference of 5 minutes. " This act of aggression and of terrorism contradicts the rules of the International Organization of the Civil Aviation (OACI) ", the organization of the civil aviation that guarantees the air safety ", the spokesman continued, without victims reported if it(he,she) was. Nevertheless, The United States expressed(emitted) a communique in the one that informed that there were two assaults, the first one pointed at a system of anti-aircraft defense in An Nukhayb due to the fact that allied planes had been taken as a target previously, and the second one was against a radar in the airport of Mosul.

PhreeZone 15 #5 August 27, 2002 Actually... we do this all the time. We take out their anti-air equipment in the no fly zones and they replace it then fire a few shots at the planes so we repeat... Its actually not a bombing... more of an enforcement of the no fly zone...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoby 0 #8 August 27, 2002 Seriously, this happens every few weeks. Iraqi radar lights up a plane on patrol, plane lauches an anti-radar missile. There have been allied planes in the air for ten years, this is nothing new. It has next to nothing to do with our impending politically motivated war on Iraq. It has everything to do with our last politically motivated war on Iraq. We now return to our previously scheduled discussion... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeanJeanie 0 #10 August 27, 2002 I STAND TO CORRECT MYSELF!! I found this clip at the bottom of the article "Saddam: U.S. threats aimed at Arab world" >> Meanwhile, coalition forces Tuesday fired on two Iraqi military sites, according to coalition officials. In the northern no-fly zone, coalition forces fired on an Iraqi radar site near Mosul, according to U.S. European Command. The attack occurred after Iraqi forces threatened coalition aircraft by illuminating them with a radar system, the command said. All coalition aircraft left the area safely. In the southern zone, coalition aircraft used precision-guided weapons to target an Iraqi air defense command and control facility near An Nukhayb, about 120 miles southwest of Baghdad, according to officials at the U.S. Central Command. The coalition response came after Iraqi forces had fired anti-aircraft artillery at a patrol over the southern no-fly zone, the officials said. The coalition says strikes in the no-fly zones are self-defense measures. There was no immediate reaction from Iraq to the attacks.

PhillyKev 0 #13 August 28, 2002 Probably actually even more frequent then every couple of weeks. We are constantly patrolling the no fly zone and are constantly being illuminated or even shot at. Nothing new, or unusual, or extra aggressive than anything we've been doing for the past 10 years. "According to the Pentagon ( news - web sites), Tuesday's raids against air defenses in the two zones were the sixth and seventh in just over a week with the total number reaching 32 this year.

nigel99 144 #14 August 28, 2002 Yes Tony Blair in his argument has a few times mentioned that Brit and US planes are almost daily fired upon by Iraq and that they return fire etc. I also worked with an Iraqi(he's been here for 20yrs) and it is amazing just how much death the US and UK rain down on Iraq - I believe that the figure of child deaths from "gulf war syndrome" type effects is in the order of 5000 per year (he showed me a BBC article to that effect). Personally I don't have a problem with the US going to war if they want to but it does piss me off the way the UK is using 9/11 to promote new laws/wars etc when in reality it had F all to do with them.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

freeflir29 0 #16 August 28, 2002 It's not uncommon for the US to drop somewhere on the order of 400-500 bombs/missles per quarter on Iraqi targets. As Phree mentioned, they shoot at us, we shoot back. Thats actually been going on for quite a few years now. It just isn't ALL that news worthy so you won't know about unless you really dig in the news. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
