boxcarwilly Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 SPECIAL REPORT Tuesday, September 04, 2001 U.S. fighter jets attacked Iraqi air defense forces WASHINGTON -- U.S. fighter jets attacked Iraqi air defense forces south of Baghdad on Tuesday, marking the fourth such assault in southern Iraq in less than two weeks, defense officials said. In a brief announcement, U.S. Central Command said the attack was in response to recent Iraqi "hostile threats" against the American and British aircraft that regularly patrol the skies over southern Iraq. The announcement gave few details beyond saying the targets were Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missile sites. A defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the targets were near the city of As Samawah, about 130 miles southeast of Baghdad. They were attacked by U.S. Air Force F-16s and U.S. Navy F/A-18s. The Navy jets were launched from the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.
