APRIL 29, 17:18 EDT Iraq Says 24 Injured in Raids BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Air raids on northern and southern Iraq injured 24 civilians today, the country's official news agency said. Twenty people were injured in Mosul, 250 miles north of Baghdad, and 14 houses were either damaged or destroyed, the Iraqi News Agency reported, quoting a statement by the Iraqi armed forces. Four civilians were injured in a separate wave of attacks on southern Iraq, the agency said. The U.S. military said its warplanes attacked Iraqi air defense sites Thursday in the northern no-fly zone after being threatened by radar and fired upon. A statement from Incirlik air base in southern Turkey said Air Force F-16s and F-15s bombed Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery and military sites near Mosul. F-16s also launched missiles on radar sites south and west of the city. The attacks came after the Iraqis fired anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles, the statement said. None of the planes were hit, it said, adding that damage to the Iraqi forces was being assessed. ******************** -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
