Iraqi Air Clash Kills Four Soldiers in Northern Iraq
Iraq says U S warplanes attacked an air defense site in northern Iraq killing four soldiers and wounding seven as U S officials in Washington report the strike was in response to Iraqi fire. Iraq claims its defenses forced the planes to flee after the exchange. No statement from Britain. The incident comes amid ongoing no fly zone patrols and prior bombing campaigns ending December 19. Iraq’s trade minister says no immediate removal of U N humanitarian workers, seeking sanctions relief instead.
