BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq said three civilians were wounded on Thursday when Western warplanes struck targets inside the country's northern no-fly zone.
The U.S. military said its aircraft attacked Iraqi air defense sites in the zone after radar and anti-aircraft guns targeted patrolling Western planes. "At 12:00 a.m. (4 a.m. EST) today U.S. and British warplanes carried 13 sorties coming from Turkey...and flew over Zakho, Dibis, Amadiya, Aqrah, Duhouk and Ain Zala," an Iraqi military spokesman said in a statement carried by the official Iraqi News Agency INA.
"The enemy attacked civilian and service installations... wounding three civilians," the spokesman said.
